WMGV has been on the air since the early 1980s. Over the years it has been known as "V103.3", "Classy 103.3, "Kat 103.3", and, back in the 1980s, "Z103"[citation needed].
In 1989, Henry Hinton started New East Communications of Greenville, North Carolina. The company's stations were WKQT, WCZI, and WGPM. WKQT was sold in 1996.[2]
On February 2, 2017, Beasley Media Group announced that it would sell its six stations and four translators in the Greenville-New Bern-Jacksonville, North Carolina market, including WMGV, to Curtis Media Group for $11 million to reduce the company's debt.[3] The sale was completed on May 1, 2017.[4]
On October 24, 2022, the station reverted back to adult contemporary as "Magic 103.3/95.5" (reflecting the addition of a simulcast on translator 95.5 W238CF in Jacksonville), a move that followed sister station WMJV taking on the station's previous hot adult contemporary format the previous week. Delilah was added in evenings, but the "V" airstaff was otherwise retained.[5]
