Although V100 has broadcast the AC format for most of its existence, it has dabbled in other formats. It was previously a rock station thru most of the 1970s, and in the late 1990s took on a Current Hit/Top 40 format until October 1999.
It was also previously owned by Capital Broadcasting Corporation and was the FM sister of WCAW-AM 680 until it was sold to West Virginia Radio Corporation. In the late 1990s, V100 played songs from the 70s such as Elton John & Kiki Dee's "Don't Go Breaking My Heart", Eagles' "Hotel California", Bee Gees "Stayin' Alive" and many more. By 2013, V100 dropped all 70s songs from its playlist and started to focus on more of a hot AC format without the hard rock or rap. It averages two or three songs from the 80s an hour, with mostly 90s, 2000s and current hits.
