History
The station went on the air as WRLB on June 7, 1984. On February 1, 1992, the station changed its call sign to the current WIFI. The WIFI call letters had previously been used in the market for some 20 years on the station now known as WXTU.
The 1460 frequency was previously used in WIFI's coverage area by WJJZ, a daytime-only station licensed to Mount Holly, New Jersey with a transmitter site on Burlington Island. WJJZ operated from the early 1960s until its license was revoked in the early 1980s.
