Originally licensed to broadcast at 103.5 MHz, the station petitioned the FCC in August 2005 to change frequencies as its signal suffered interference from WKGL in Russellville, Alabama, and WMXV in Littleville, Alabama. [8] The FCC authorized the change in October 2005 and WFBH-LP began broadcasting at 96.7 MHz in July 2006. [9]

The station ceased broadcasting on December 31, 2018, having sent a letter to the FCC on December 28, 2018, requesting cancellation of the station's license. In the letter, they noted that, in a business meeting, the church "voted unanimously to shut down the radio station" and stated: "We will no longer be broadcasting through this station. Beginning January 1, 2019, all equipment will be disconnected and powered off." [10] The FCC cancelled the station's license on February 7, 2019.
