History

On October 20, 2014, WLFV changed their format from country to classic country, branded as "93.1 Hank FM". The following day, the FCC authorized a swap of callsigns between the stations at 93.1 FM and 98.9 FM.
On December 20, 2017, Commonwealth Public Broadcasting Corporation announced that they would acquire WWLB and sister station, WBBT; WCVE-FM's music programming will move to the frequencies upon closure of the sale.
On June 1, 2018, WWLB and WBBT-FM switched to a new format, "WCVE Music", which assumes and augments the prior music programming of WCVE-FM. On August 5, 2019, WWLB and WBBT-FM were both rebranded as "VPM Music."
