History

The station signed on in 1975 as WYVA-FM, serving
On October 5, 2009, WXEZ swapped formats with WGH (1310 AM) and became a sports radio station, and at that time changed their call letters to WVSP-FM. With this change, there are now two sports stations on the FM dial in Hampton Roads. ESPN Radio also gained an improved coverage area much greater than when they were located on 1310 AM. The black gospel format moved to 1310 AM.[10]
On February 1, 2023, the station rebranded as "Priority Auto Sports Radio 94.1", as part of a naming rights deal with local automotive dealer chain Priority Automotive, one of the few such deals involving a radio station's branding. WVSP-FM's programming, including its ESPN Radio affiliation, did not change.[11]
