WMRV (1450 kHz) is a radio station licensed to Spring Lake, North Carolina, serving the Fayetteville area.

Norman Suttles, a former manager of WFNC, signed on WFBS on May 23, 1963, as the fifth radio station in Cumberland County, North Carolina.

The station built the new WFBS Broadcast House studio and office building at the transmitter site and moved into it prior to 1969.

[7] For nine months prior to February 14, 1999, W & V Broadcasting, owned by William and Vera Hollingsworth, worked to return WCIE to the air.

The new WCIE format would include Spanish Contemporary, tropical music, banda, ranchera, tejano, salsa, and regional Mexican.

[17] Early in 2004, Roberto Vengoechea became the new general manager, and "La Nueva Radio Latina" included an increased focus on Latin and Caribbean listeners, not just Mexicans.
