WYBL (98.3 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a country music format. Licensed to Ashtabula, Ohio, United States. The studios are located in Ashtabula while its transmitter is located near Benetka Rd and Plymouth Ridge Rd south of I-90. It is one of five stations in Media One Radio Group's Ashtabula cluster, the others being WFUN, WFXJ-FM, WQGR, WREO-FM, and WZOO-FM.
WYBL signed on in August 2005. The 98.3 FM frequency had belonged to then-owner Clear Channel Communications (now known as iHeartMedia) for a number of years. 98.3 FM and sister station 107.5 FM were purchased at auction at the same time. 107.5 FM was focused on and developed first as a Classic Rock station. 98.3 FM "The Bull" came years later. Before becoming the country station that it would become, the signal of 98.3 was used for some time to run oldies (presumable to test the frequency and market for popularity). Soon after, The Bull came to air.
In the Fall of 2007, Clear Channel Communications sold WYBL to Media One Radio Group along with its sister stations WFUN (AM) (News/Talk at the time), WFXJ-FM (Classic Rock), WREO-FM (Hot AC at the time), WZOO-FM (Top 40 at the time).
