The radio station concept for the college began decades prior to its FM launch, when audio transmissions were originally being broadcast via closed circuit only.

[2] Eventually, the station began broadcasting as an online-only internet stream that was branded as "WACC" (even though these call letters were never officially granted by the FCC).

While the original closed circuit audio has been discontinued, the internet stream continues to this day, now serving as a relay of the terrestrial FM signal.

Many of the live shows on WRML take advantage of social media outlets such as Facebook and Twitter to help with independent promotion, while other programs also have full websites.

Program schedules are usually updated and retooled each college semester, with some shows leaving (and new ones taking their places), due to student needs.
