The station went silent on January 18, 2012, citing a need for "significant repairs". The callsign WHTU was "parked" on the license for several weeks in November 2012 before it was put into use on the former
WXCF-FM the following month. As the
Telecommunications Act of 1996 mandates automatic deletion of any station that is continuously silent for one year, WXCF returned to the air in the afternoon of January 17, 2013.

oldies format.
WXCF is an affiliate of University of Virginia sports, including football, basketball, and Coaches’ shows throughout each season.
