WLRJ is a Spanish-language Christian formatted broadcast radio station licensed to Charles City, Virginia, serving the Richmond/Petersburg area. WLRJ is owned and operated by Educational Media Foundation (EMF). The station is the first full-time Spanish-language FM station in the Richmond area.
American Family Association launched the station in 2000, relaying its American Family Radio network which featured a mix of Christian teaching and Contemporary Christian music.
On August 18, 2015, Educational Media Foundation purchased the station from the American Family Association for $1.25 million. EMF began relaying its K-Love network on the station, and changed the station's call letters to WLRJ.
On April 17, 2017, WLRJ began stunting with a continuously-repeating informational loop informing listeners that K-Love in Richmond had moved, and directing listeners to EMF's recently acquired stations on 98.9 FM (WLFV) and 100.3 FM (WKYV).
On April 26, 2017, WLRJ began relaying EMF's Radio Nueva Vida network.
