History

As of 02/11/08 WVLD 1450 started simulcasting their signal on 106.9 FM and branded themselves under that frequency. They have also shifted their weekday programming lineup away from all ESPN to now include ESPN's Mike and Mike in the Morning, the Neal Boortz Show, the Clark Howard Show, and the Dave Ramsey Show. On the weekends, WVLD still carries ESPN Radio. However, they now brand themselves as "106.9 FM WVLD" instead of former "ESPN 1450".

On February 1, 2013 WVLD changed their format to classic rock, branded as "The Eagle". It later rebranded as "Rock 106.9".
