History
The station's construction permit was granted by the Federal Communications Commission on May 17, 2011. The originally assigned callsign was W22ED-D. The stations current WIRP-LD calls were assigned on May 10, 2013. [1]
The station went on the air in early 2016 as an affiliate of Estrella TV. Since in-market sister station WNCB-LD, also in Fayetteville, the station's main channel is mainly a simulcast of WNCB. The other subchannels of WIRP are different from that station as WNCB carries Azteca America, Sonlife, and Newsmax TV networks on their subchannels, while Estrella, Azteca America, Shop LC, Heroes & Icons, Soul of the South, Movies! and the main feed of QVC are offered on the subchannels of WIRP. The main QVC feed is also offered on WNCB-LD5.[2]
