WRVW is a radio station broadcasting on the FM band at 107.5 MHz, licensed to the city of Lebanon, Tennessee, but serving the nearby Nashville market. It is currently branded as 107.5 The River, broadcasting a Top 40 (CHR) format, and has become something of a heritage station for Top-40 music in middle Tennessee. It is owned by iHeartMedia, Inc. and operates out of studios in the world-famous "Music Row" area. Its transmitter is located just north of downtown Nashville.
WRVW broadcasts in the HD format:
The station signed on the air on August 31, 1962 on the 107.3 MHz frequency in Lebanon as the FM sister station to WCOR. It played a country music format for its first 19 years on the air. The station also broadcast some gospel music programming in the mid and late 1970s. By 1980, it branded itself US107 and changed its callsign to WUSW. This station proved to be short-lived; its absentee owner shut it down along with its AM sister, WCOR, in mid-1981. It was sold, moved to Nashville, and had its frequency changed to 107.5 in order to accommodate a power increase (The FCC ruled out a power increase for 107.3 because of its proximity to WQLT-FM in Florence, Alabama, which is also on 107.3).
The station received a complete overhaul when it moved to 107.5 FM in 1982, and went on to become one of Nashville's most successful radio stations. When the move was complete, the callsign was changed to WYHY. Those call letters and the station's official nickname "The New Y107" lasted from 1982 until 1996.
