[6] In December 2004, Lechman's Shenandoah Valley Television, LLC sold all of its stations to Jeffrey Shapiro's Force 5 Communications.
Vox entered into a time brokerage agreement for WBOP, with the stipulation that Force 5 would retake control upon the construction of a new facility for the station in Keswick, Virginia.
The plan was to physically move the station over the Blue Ridge, change the frequency to 106.1 MHz, and build a transmitter at the Charlottesville antenna farm on Carter Mountain.
[5] The rebuilt station went on the air from Charlottesville on September 15, 2006, with an adult album alternative (AAA) format branded "106.1 The Corner" WCNR.
This brought it into direct competition with locally owned nonprofit AAA station WNRN (91.9 MHz), whose general manager was incensed enough to famously ban the word "corner" from his airwaves for a time.
