History

The station began broadcasting as WOBR at 11:45 a.m. on May 29, 1970, at its studio/transmitter site near Wanchese, North Carolina, with a power of 250 watts, licensed for daytime-only operation. The first manager was G. Chambers Williams, III. WOBR was the first radio station to sign on in the Outer Banks.

Throughout the 1970s and early 1980s, WOBR had an adult contemporary format. By the mid-1980s it had gone to a country format. In the late 1980s, the station went to a religious format. On April 11, 2000, the calls were changed to WOBX.
