Logo used until November 2010.In 1990, the WBRF transmitter moved and the power increased to 100,000 Watts from Fisher Peak in Surry County, just across the Virginia/North Carolina border.
On June 15, 2009, Toby Young returned to radio with his "Aunt Eloise" character who was part of WTQR radio for 23 years.
Late in 2010, WBRF changed its format slightly, dropping newer country music (though it previously emphasized the classics anyway) and changing its name to "Classic Country 98-1" and "The Legend". The changes led to the end of Bruce Hodges' "NightRide USA" program, which ran from 11 P.M. to 6 A.M. weekdays, with an emphasis on patriotism and spirituality, and included lots of listener calls. Under new operations director Tom Collins, the number of calls would have been reduced and Hodges would have had less control over music played. Many listeners complained about the show ending, and Hodges hoped to bring back his program online and possibly as a syndicated program.
