The station's headquarters are located on South Reading Road, along PA 272, at Rothsville Road in Ephrata, Pennsylvania. Its broadcast tower is located near Ephrata at (40°10′30.2″N 76°9′29.5″W / 40.175056°N 76.158194°W / 40.175056; -76.158194).[1] The station's service contour covers the cities of Lancaster, Reading, York, and Harrisburg and the western suburbs of Philadelphia.[2]

On March 2, 2018, Cumulus Media announced that WIOV’s fellow Country sibling in Harrisburg, WZCY-FM, will trade places with Top 40/CHR sister WWKL, effective March 15. The move will alleviate a overlapping issue between WIOV and WZCY-FM, the latter to focus on covering the Harrisburg market.[3]
