WRNB is an Urban Adult Contemporary station broadcasting at 107.9 FM. Licensed to Pennsauken, New Jersey, it serves the Philadelphia market and is owned by Radio One. The station features R&B (hence the callsign), Classic Soul, Gospel, and the syndicated Tom Joyner Morning Show. The main competitor of WRNB in the Philadelphia market is WDAS-FM, which broadcasts on the 105.3 frequency. WDAS used to feature the Tom Joyner Morning Show, until WRNB won the rights to the syndicated morning show through its owner Radio One, purchasing half of the morning show's parent company, Reach Media. WRNB's transmitter is located atop One Liberty Place in Center City Philadelphia.

The station originally operated as WSNJ-FM in Bridgeton, New Jersey, first broadcasting on 98.9 in the 1950s before moving to 107.7. In the early 2000s the station's frequency and city of license were changed to allow it to move into the more lucrative Philadelphia market. To clear space on the FM band for the new operation, high school station WHHS was moved from 107.9 to 99.9 MHz and a Philadelphia translator of classical station WWFM was taken off the air. Before WRNB went on the air in 2004, the call letters were used for a Radio One-owned sister station in Dayton, Ohio, now called WROU.
