In the late 1950s, WRNL-AM-FM moved to a full service format of middle of the road music, news, sports and talk.

WRXL would still have a larger coverage area than conventional Class B FM stations, but with lower power due to the increased antenna height.

[11] On November 1, 2017, iHeartMedia announced that WRXL, along with all of its co-owned stations in Richmond and Chattanooga, would be swapped to Entercom, coupled with that company's merger with CBS Radio.

On September 13, 2020, WRXL quietly re-branded as "Alt 102-1" as part of a systemic "revamping" of Entercom's alternative rock stations.

[14][15] WRXL also broadcasts an HD subchannel: ** = Audacy operates pursuant to a local marketing agreement with Martz Communications Group.
