WNOH
WNOH (105.3 FM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Windsor, Virginia, serving the Hampton Roads radio market in Virginia and Northeastern North Carolina. WNOH is owned and operated by iHeartMedia and broadcasts a Soft adult contemporary music format, branded as "105.3 The Breeze". WNOH is the Hampton Roads affiliate for the syndicated Delilah show, which airs during the evening.
WNOH's studios and offices are on Greenbrier in Chesapeake, Virginia. The transmitter is off Nansemond Parkway in Suffolk, Virginia. WNOH broadcasts at 50,000 watts, the maximum power for the Hampton Roads section of Virginia, although a few FM stations in the market are powered at 100,000 watts if their towers are located near or over the North Carolina state line. (WGH-FM is grandfathered at 74,000 watts).
WNOH broadcasts in the HD Radio format; its HD2 subchannel carries "K-Love", a contemporary Christian format from the Educational Media Foundation. Sometime in 2022, Master of the Mix was pulled from iHeartRadio, leading to the HD2 channel being turned off; the HD3 subchannel remained on before being turned off as the HD3 format moved to HD2.
On August 3, 1962, WXRI signed on the air on 104.5 MHz, licensed to Norfolk. It was owned by the Christian Broadcasting Network, headed by Pat Robertson, and carried a Christian radio format for 27 years, but it started with an antiquated 3,000-watt transmitter located in an abandoned garage. A year after signing on, it was approved to move to its present 105.3 MHz and increased its transmitter power to 50,000 watts. CBN, then headquartered in Portsmouth, also owned WYAH-TV (channel 27, now WGNT), and the two stations shared studio facilities on Spratley Street in Portsmouth.
In 1981, the format was modified to what was described as a "sanitized secular format" in preparation for planned syndication throughout the U.S. by CBN's Continental Radio division. The format mixed Christian contemporary songs with adult contemporary, avoiding overt proselytism of religious views.
The 1989 sale of WXRI to Win Communications severed CBN's ties to the station and prompted the station's call sign to change to WZCL. The Christian format initially moved to 96.1 WKSV, which received CBN's music library, hired most of its former DJs and even considered changing its call letters to WXRI. WZCL went through a period of stunting with everything from album rock to beautiful music. On May 19, the new WZCL became "Cool 105" with an oldies format. On September 3, 1990, after briefly stunting with country music, WZCL became adult contemporary-formatted WMXN, "Mix 105".
In 1995, ML Media Opportunity Partners sold WMXN to US Radio L.P., which owned WSVY and WOWI. The following year, WMXN and co-owned WOWI were acquired by Clear Channel Communications, a forerunner to current owner iHeartMedia, Inc. Clear Channel switched the format to smooth Jazz as WJCD on March 17, 1995. On June 25, 2001, WJCD and sister WSVY-FM swapped formats and call letters, with smooth jazz WJCD moving to 107.7 FM, while WSVY's urban AC format moved to 105.3, and rebranded as "Vibe 105.3". On March 19, 2004, WSVY rebranded as "105.3 Kiss FM", and on March 29, the station became WKUS.
On October 11, 2010, WKUS' urban AC format moved from 105.3 to the 92.1 and 107.7 signals to make room for the launch of WVMA, an AC-leaning classic hits format as "Magic 105.3". The move meant the end of the oldies format on 92.1 and the smooth jazz format on 107.7.
