History

On December 9, 1932, The Federal Radio Commission approved transferring the license for WFBC (the station's call letters at that time) from Virgil V. Evans to the Greensville News-Piedmont Company. At the time, WFBC operated on 1200 kHz with 50 watts of power.[2] On January 8, 1935, the Federal Communications Commission approved increasing the station's power to 5,000 watts.[3]

Years later, WFBC was known for its top-40 format. The call letters continue to be used by WFBC-FM. WYRD-FM airs a talk format that was once simulcast on WORD-AM and WYRD-AM.
