The station has served Kinston and eastern North Carolina since the 1960s, when it operated under the call letters WFTC-FM. During its early decades, it was the only country-format outlet in the area and commanded one of the highest audience market shares of any station in the region. The station has held an annual radiothon benefiting St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and has been ranked the top station in its market by Arbitron. WRNS-FM operated in simulcast with its AM counterpart, WRNS at 960 kHz, until April 2017, when the AM station transitioned to a sports radio format. In September 2017, Dick Broadcasting announced the acquisition of Alpha Media stations across three markets, including WRNS-FM, for a total purchase price of $19.5 million. The transaction was completed on December 20, 2017.
