History

WROU was founded by Hawes-Saunders in 1991 and was locally owned until Radio One purchased the station in 2003, after several years of resisting offers to sell the outlet. It was briefly known as WRNB after the sale but went back to the original calls a year later. WRNB was originally at 96.9 FM licensed to Troy as satellite-formatted "Solid Gold Soul" and was at one time the sister station to WROU which is now Contemporary Christian formatted WOKL "K-LOVE" a repeater of KLOV in Winchester, OR. The WRNB calls are now used for Radio One's Urban AC FM station in Philadelphia. The Tom Joyner Morning Show can be heard on WROU weekdays 6-10am

On May 17, 2007 Philadelphia-based Main Line Broadcasting announced the acquisition of Radio One's stations in the Dayton and Louisville market areas [ [http://news.radio-online.com/cgi-bin/$rol.exe/headline_id=b9903 News article of Main Line's purchase of Dayton and Louisville station clusters from Radio One (Radio-Online, May 17, 2007)] ] .
