WNRA (94.5 FM, "The Voice of The Shoals") is a radio station licensed to serve Hawk Pride, Alabama. The station is owned by NAHF Inc. It airs a heavy schedule of local news, traffic, and weather information.[1]
92.3 FM originally signed on the air in Muscle Shoals on October 31, 2007. The station rebroadcast WLAY (1450 AM)'s all-Muscle Shoals music format until 2012. During that time, licensee URBan Radio Broadcasting dropped the WLAY call letters in favor of positioning the combo as "1450 & 92.3 The Sound." URBan lost the license for 92.3 FM in 2012, and AM 1450 went silent in December 2014.
NAHF, Inc. applied for the 92.3 FM license in late 2013. The station was assigned the WSHF call letters by the Federal Communications Commission on February 17, 2014 since the WLAY call letters were in use by 103.5 FM in Littleville, Alabama at the time.[2] The WSHF call letters were originally assigned to AM 1380 in Sheffield, owned by Daylight Broadcasting. This first WSHF was founded by Dick Biddle, who surrendered the station's license to purchase WOWL 1240 in 1952.[3] WSHF signed on the air June 22, 2015, continuing to position itself as "The Sound of Muscle Shoals".[1]
On October 1, 2019, WSHF announced it would move up the FM dial from 92.3 to 94.5 FM. The station cited continued interference from a co-channel station in Tennessee as the reason for its move up the FM dial.[4]
Following the deletion of AM station WNRA 1240 in Eufaula, Alabama, the station changed to WNRA on July 16, 2022. By reclaiming the call letters, the station continued a tradition of broadcasting that dates all the way back to November 1933 when WNRA 1420 signed on the air as the first station in northwest Alabama.[3]
