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".[4] 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.[5]
On January 6, 2025, WRLF ended the mainstream rock format and returned to simulcasting WMMN, now a conservative talk station branded as "The Torch".[6] The "-FM" suffix was added on April 15, 2026, allowing sister station WBKE to become WRLF.[7]
