History
WMNA-FM signed on the air on February 28, 1959. It was originally powered at 3,000 watts and was a full-time simulcast of co-owned WMNA 730 AM. At the time, WMNA 730 was a daytimer, required to go off the air at night. So listeners with an FM radio could continue to hear programming on 106.3 FM. The two stations were owned by the Central Virginia Broadcasting Company and were network affiliates of the Mutual Broadcasting System.

WMNA-FM was a country music station, before being bought by Gary Burns. The station became a simulcast of Lynchburg's WLNI to extend the signal along Route 29 from Danville to Nelson County. When Burns sold WLNI to Centennial Broadcasting, he split WMNA and sold it to Three Daughters Media. It became a sports radio station as an ESPN Radio affiliate.

In November 2013 WMNA-FM switched from sports to talk radio. It began sharing programming with co-owned WIQO-FM 106.3 MHz.
