On February 1, 2015, Charlottesville-based public broadcaster WTJU began simulcasting its programming on WHAN in an attempt to use its FM translator to reach the Richmond market.
[7] WTJU operated the station daily from 1:00 am to 6:00 pm as part of a three-year local marketing agreement.
[9] WTJU terminated the local marketing agreement effective August 16, 2017, citing financial reasons.
[10][11] On August 10, 2020, Fifth Estate Broadcasting filed an agreement to donate WHAN and W275BQ to Stu-Comm, Inc., operator of Charlottesville-based adult album alternative station WNRN-FM, which complements its existing Richmond pair of WFTH (1590 AM) and W203CB (88.5 FM).
This action came less than a week after the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) repealed a longstanding rule that prevented co-owned AM stations with overlapping signals from broadcasting the same programming.
