## Station history

WNUZ is a full-service community radio station licensed to serve Gap, Pennsylvania, with a reach of Lancaster, Chester, Southern Berks and Southeastern York Counties. WNUZ broadcasts in FM stereo from transmitter facilities located in Gap, Pennsylvania. The call sign "WNUZ" was acquired as a direct result of the COVID-19 pandemic to clearly identify the station and it's programming format. On June 1, 2020 WLRI changed its call sign to WNUZ and began airing a "all news" programming service. At the time, programming included local, state and federal COVID-19 information and resources. WNUZ remained in operation through declared emergency periods of COVID-19 without any federal, state or local financial assistance. The station's original construction permit was granted on October 16, 2003, and initial broadcast took place shortly thereafter from studios on North Christiana Avenue in Gap, PA (Sadsbury Township).
In fall 2008, the then-WLRI-LP began reading the Intelligencer Journal and Lancaster New Era newspapers on the air, under an exclusive agreement with Lancaster Newspapers, Inc. (now known as "LNP Media Group"). In summer 2010, WLRI-LP began reading the Sunday News newspaper. All three newspapers were renamed in 2014 and now go by "LNP" and "LNP Sunday News" respectively. The service airs from 3:PM until 5:PM daily to this day.
On July 12, 2004, WLRI began airing programming from the Pacifica Radio Network and other community and non-commercial sources worldwide, along with live "in studio" news, weather, traffic and current affairs. Additional programming offerings from Pacifica Radio Network, WYD Media Management, Dan Delgado, SM Radio Productions, Mythical Intelligence, Inc., and Democracy Now! supplement daytime and some weekend on-air programming.
On March 17, 2015, WLRI filed for a new construction permit to relocate the transmitter and improve its overall service area. The application was granted by the Federal Communications Commission on March 19, 2015.
On March 28, 2015, WLRI was granted permission to relocate and increase TPO to 250 watts and ERP to 100 watts.
On April 20, 2015, control of WLRI was transferred to WLRI Incorporated, a non-membership, non-profit private Pennsylvania corporation following the consummation of its previous licensee.
On June 15, 2015, WLRI began operating at full power and applied for license to cover, subsequently granted.
On May 6, 2016, WLRI announced that it began establishing an online public file and virtual front desk in compliance to Federal Communications Commission rule-makings passed in early 2016.
WNUZ does not authorize use of its call sign to any other station in the United States, and is the sole holder of WNUZ, therefore does not use the LP suffix except on the air when legally required for on-air identification. The station branding of LanChester NUZ 92.9 and WNUZ began with the selection of the call sign in June 2020.
