WURB was originally licensed as a "daytime only" station. AM 1140 is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A WRVA in Richmond, Virginia, and WURB had to sign off at sunset to avoid interference. Now, WURB broadcasts at night with an FCC approved power of only 8 watts. By day, WURB is powered at 5,000 watts.
On December 15, 2017, the station flipped from its gospel programming to its current reggaetón format. On January 3, 2018, it changed its call sign from WRMQ to WURF, and then to WURB on June 19, 2019.
