WVBX is owned and operated by Alpha Media LLC, through licensee Alpha Media Licensee LLC.[2] It airs a Rhythmic Contemporary Hit Radio.[3] HistoryThe station first launched on January 26, 1988, with the call sign WYND-FM.[4] It aired a smooth jazz/new age music format and was owned by Richard J. Hayes and Associates. On April 10, 1989, WYND-FM changed to WPLC, and yet again to WYSK on September 30, 1994. In 1994, the station was purchased by The Free Lance–Star, a daily newspaper in Fredericksburg. On July 16, 1996, WYSK modified its call letters to WYSK-FM, switching to an Adult Contemporary format. On March 4, 2002, WYSK-FM flipped to Alternative Rock, branded as "99.3 WYSK – The Rock Alternative." At noon on January 7, 2008, WYSK-FM dropped its Alternative format and switched to Rhythmic Contemporary Hit Radio with the station's first song being Justin Timberlake's "SexyBack". The call letters were changed from WYSK to WWVB-FM on January 11, 2008 to go along with the new moniker "The Vibe." On August 13, 2009, the call sign was changed from WWVB-FM to WVBX.[5] On January 23, 2015, Alpha Media "entered into a definitive agreement" to purchase WVBX and sister stations WFLS-FM, WNTX, and WWUZ from Free Lance-Star License, LLC.[6] The purchase was consummated on May 1, 2015, at a price of $8.1 million. On June 1, 2018 WVBX rebranded as "Live 99.3."[7] The station is now airing a more traditional contemporary hit radio playlist, moving away from the rhythmic format.[8] References1. ^{{cite web |title=Call Sign History |url=http://licensing.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/cdbs/pubacc/prod/call_hist.pl?Facility_id=22484&Callsign=WVBX |work=FCC Media Bureau CDBS Public Access Database}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://transition.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/fmq?call=WVBX|title=WVBX Facility Record|work=Federal Communications Commission, audio division}} 3. ^Inside Radio "Format Flips" June 12, 2018 4. ^[https://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-BC-YB/1989/B-2%20Radio%20Neb%20to%20Terr%201989-5.pdf Broadcasting Yearbook 1989 page B-314] 5. ^{{cite news |publisher=VARTV.com |title=WVBX 99.3 257A |url=http://fredericksburg.vartv.com |date=June 5, 2010}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.allaccess.com/net-news/archive/story/137599/alpha-media-to-purchase-free-lance-star-radio-stat#sthash.tpAuVTR4.uxfs|title=Alpha Media To Purchase Free Lance-Star Radio Stations|date=January 23, 2015|accessdate=January 23, 2015|publisher=All Access Music Group}} 7. ^[https://radioinsight.com/headlines/168741/wvbx-relaunches-as-live-99-3/ WVBX Relaunches as Live 99.3] Radioinsight - June 1, 2018 8. ^http://www.alphamediausa.com/alpha-media-fredericksburg-launches-live-99-3/ External links
