WLUS-FM is a Country formatted broadcast radio station licensed to Clarksville, Virginia, serving the Southside Virginia area. WLUS-FM is owned and operated by Thomas Birch's Birch Broadcasting Corporation, through licensee Lakes Media, LLC.^[1]

In August 2016, Lakes Media sent an informal objection to the Federal Communications Commission alleging that translator W252DK in Durham, North Carolina was interfering with reception of WLUS-FM. After nearly a year of debate between Arohi Media, licensee of W252DK, and Lakes Media, the FCC sent a letter requiring that the translator cease operation immediately.^[2]^[3] The translator's license has been suspended and is no longer found in the FCC database.^[4]

The FCC has accepted a Petition for Reconsideration filed by Arohi Media on June 1, 2017.^[5]
