[3] In 1956, WITH and WNAV received attention for organizing a marathon, run from the Maryland State House to Baltimore, in order to raise money and develop athletes for the 1956 Summer Olympics later that year in Brisbane.
[8] The stations made headlines in 1984 and 1985 when they briefly gave a daily call-in show to former Governor of Maryland Marvin Mandel, who had been convicted of fraud and racketeering and imprisoned while in office in 1977.
[10]The combination was subsequently broken up as WNAV was re-sold to former WHFS manager (and ABW Broadcasting partner) Jake Einstein two years later for $1.63 million.
[12] In 1999, Einstein sold WNAV to Wheel of Fortune host and Anne Arundel County resident Pat Sajak for $2.2 million.
Sajak retained the land housing the transmitter and studios, valued at $2.6 million, to sell off separately; he contributed $100,000 toward relocating the station.
[14][15] In December, the new management, which aimed for the station to break even for the first time in its history, informed on-air staff that they would be let go at the end of the month.
[16] In 2022, BMSC completed an overhaul of WNAV's staff, music, and branding, with Roth taking over as morning host, John Tesh in middays, and Neal Ellis in afternoon.
