WBZB (1130 AM) is a daytime only radio station broadcasting a top 40 (CHR) format, licensed to Murray, Kentucky. The station is currently owned by Forever Communications, Inc. and features programming from ESPN Radio. [2]
The station went on the air September 12, 1978, as WSJP, owned by father-and-son businessmen Joe and Sam Parker. After merging with WNBS and the FM station now known as WFGS, they sold the stations to Forever Communications. It marked the first time that ownership of all of Murray's commercial broadcasters lay with an out-of-town company. WSJP and WNBS swapped formats and schedules in 2000 to take advantage of the better nighttime signal on WNBS.
The call sign for 1130 was changed to WRKY and then to WJGY before becoming WOFC on January 11, 2007. [3] This was originally a reference to the station's adult contemporary format, designed to be music that could be played in an office without distracting from work. Although the station reverted to sports talk a year later, the call letters did not change. The station changed its call sign to the current WBZB on November 23, 2016.
The call letters of WSJP coincided with the initials of co-founder Sandy Joe Parker, although the station's official claim was that it stood for its moniker "We Serve the Jackson Purchase".[ citation needed ]
On March 24, 2017, WBZB changed its format from sports to contemporary hit radio, branded as "The Busy Bee". [4] [ full citation needed ]
