History
The station went on the air as WBZD on April 13, 1992. On March 1, 1993, the station changed its call sign to WMJM.[3] WMJM was Hot AC and then country when it joined WVVR the original "Beaver FM" station in western Kentucky. [5] The current WBVR call letters, which were previously used by another station in the Clarksville, TN/Hopkinsville, KY radio market, were adopted on September 1, 1994.[3] The other WBVR became WJCE-FM in 1994 and switched from country to urban AC The Touch when it joined a duopoly with WLAC and WLAC-FM.[5]
From 1991 until 1994, WBVR was broadcasting on a frequency of 101.1 MHz. On September 1, 1994, the station moved to its current 96.7 position on the dial, which had been in use by WLBJ-FM during the 1970s and 1980s. The 101.1 FM frequency is currently used by Urban contemporary/Hip hop-formatted WUBT, which is licensed to Russellville, Kentucky, but is based in Nashville, Tennessee. That station serves portions of three radio markets: Nashville, Clarksville, and Bowling Green.
