In 2003, WMRV moved from its original location at 129 Main Street to a new office and studio at 195 Main Street. The new location is within a historic Main Street building and still contains the original ornate tin ceiling.

The five-county news airs at 6:00, 7:00, 8:00 and at 12:00 PM, and in the afternoons at 5:00. Since the start of 2011, the news broadcasts have utilized more live quotes from local authorities and elected officials.
