We are WRLE 94.9

Old School 94.9

WRLE-LP (94.9 FM,  is a radio station broadcasting . Licensed to Dunnellon, Florida, United States, the station is currently owned by Power Ministries.

​

The Federal Communications Commission issued a construction permit for the station on May 28, 2002.[3] The station was issued the WRLE-LP call sign on June 5, 2002,[4] and received its license to cover on February 3, 2004.[

WRLE-LP began regular broadcasts in 2002 after longtime area broadcaster Tony Downes received a construction permit for the new low-power FM station. Downes wanted a community outreach radio station primarily to serve the residents of Rainbow Lakes Estate near Dunnellon in West Marion County. The call letters, WRLE, stand for Rainbow Lakes Estates. In 2002, WRLE went on the air. The original format was contemporary hits, known as "The Heat", with some religious programming on Sundays and other times during the weekends. However, since most of the residents living within the WRLE listening area are over 45, in 2003 the format was switched to soft adult contemporary. On Sept 3 2019 WRLE switched to urban contemporary Old school that Jams. According to Downes, this brought the station's programming more in tune with the station's desired target audience which has a median age of 45. The strategy has worked. WRLE is well received by the area residents and enjoyed by many.
