History

Before the station was built, its construction permit was assigned the call sign WMLY on June 28, 1989. It took several years to sign-on but finally began broadcasting on October 23, 1995.[2] It took the call letters WBNC-FM. As WBNC-FM, it aired a country music format simulcast with co-owned AM 1050 WBNC.

On December 17, 2001 it became the current WVMJ.[3] WVMJ changed formats to Contemporary Hit Radio and its moniker to Magic 104 on December 26, 2001.
