Upon the station's conversion to digital in 2010, the station's replaced the LP suffix in their callsign with LD to become WOBZ LD.

On January 29, 2008, the tower used by WOBZ LP and radio station WJJA LP collapsed during a storm. The station continued to be seen on London cable and over the internet. Station management hoped to build a new tower by April of that year, which they did.

In 2016, the station's main digital subchannel became an affiliate of Buzzr, featuring FremantleMedia’s classic game show library. In 2018, the station was sold to its current owner, Wallingford Broadcasting.

On July 11 of the same year, the station’s callsign changed to the current WBON LD. The move was completed in April 2020 and the station now operates under full license to cover from Richmond as WBON LD.
