Sign-off

After the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) received a complaint in February 2018 that WBHB was not operating, Broadcast South admitted that it was only operating "approximately once per week". The station's transmitter caused "very significant interference" to co-located stations WKZZ and WRDO and electronic devices in the studio building, and several engineers were unable to determine the cause. Broadcast South turned in WBHB's license on March 23, 2018, and it was deleted from the FCC's database effective March 29, 2018. [2]
