Call sign

On February 13, 2018, Baker Family Stations swapped the long-time call sign for their Fredericksburg station, WJYJ, with the call sign for their Hickory, NC station, WPIR. A week later, Baker again swapped the now-WPIR's call sign with that of sister station WPER.

Translators

In addition to its primary signal, WPER is relayed by six FM translators to widen its broadcast area across Virginia.
