History
On August 17, 2020, WRLF changed its format from mainstream rock to a simulcast of sports-formatted WMMN (920 AM), branded as "The Ticket". In late June 2021, WRLF dropped the WMMN simulcast and returned to mainstream rock, under the same "94 Rock" branding as had been used prior to the simulcast.
On January 6, 2025, WRLF ended the mainstream rock format and returned to simulcasting WMMN, now a conservative talk station branded as "The Torch". The "-FM" suffix was added on April 15, 2026, allowing sister station WBKE to become WRLF.
