WBHB-FM is an active rock music formatted broadcast radio station licensed to Waynesboro, Pennsylvania, serving "Four-State" area (Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia).
WBHB-FM is owned and operated by M. Belmont Verstandig, Inc.
Beginning in the late 1970s, then WAYZ 101.5 FM was a country-formatted station.
VerStandig bought FM 104.7 from John Staub (Hagerstown Broadcasting) and moved the WAYZ country format there in 2000, leaving it with FM 101.5; it broadcast an audio CNN headline news format for three weeks.[ citation needed ]
Top 40 "Magic 101.5" debuted on August 28, 2000, and operated until March 2005.
On February 27, 2005, Hagerstown-based WARX flipped to classic hits as "106.9 The Eagle", a few hours before Verstandig flipped WWMD to classic rock as "Eagle 101.5" with the callsign WEEG. [2] After a few days of dueling "Eagle"s, WWMD ceded the branding, briefly going with "The New 101.5". [3] The following week, it became "Classic Rock 101.5" with the callsign WFYN. Local media observers noted the similarity of the new callsign, which had no obvious meaning, to a profane insult ("fuck you, Nassau") over the branding conflict. [4] [5]
On September 17, 2007, WFYN flipped from classic rock to active rock as Rock 101.5.
On March 16, 2009, WFYN became WBHB-FM and changed its Rock 101.5 branding to 101.5 Bob Rocks; it continues to broadcast an active rock format.
