For a time, both WNBL and WDVI played an almost identical country format in an unusual situation where two stations under common ownership, and in the same market, were playing the same format (though as a rimshot in the western Finger Lakes, WNBL targeted a more rural audience whereas WDVI was more centrally located; iHeart's predecessor Clear Channel had programmed WDVI and another Finger Lakes station—102.3, then-WISY—with similar adult-contemporary formats in years past, with both stations alternating the WVOR calls that are now carried on the latter).
The situation described is unusual because two stations owned by the same company, operating in the same geographic area, were playing the same music format. This was a result of previous programming decisions made by Clear Channel, which had previously used similar formats for both stations.
