In January 2021, Educational Media Foundation agreed to buy Colonial Broadcasting Company's WFLO and WFLO-FM. WFLO ended its broadcast as full service on December 31.[4][5] After the sale, EMF converted both stations to K-Love and divested the AM station to Heart of Virginia Communications.[6] WFLO relaunched as "870 WFLO" on December 1, 2022.[7]
