The station is owned by Times-Shamrock Communications and broadcasts a classic rock format. Its studios are in Hunt Valley and its broadcast tower is located near Owings Mills at ({{coord|39|26|49.9|N|76|46|47.2|W}}).[1] The station's service contour covers the Baltimore metropolitan area and southern portions of South Central Pennsylvania.[2] The station markets itself as the only station in the Baltimore market dedicated to the classic rock format. HistoryEngineer Russ Morgan signed on the station for the first time on November 1, 1959 as WTTR-FM.[3][4] Shamrock Communications purchased the station on April 7, 1981 and changed the format to easy listening. The station's call sign was changed to WGRX in 1984, with a format change to "Eclectic Oriented Rock",[4] a hybrid format created by Radio Consultant John Sebastian.[5] The format changed to classic rock in May 1987.[4] WGRX changed its format to modern rock on December 2, 1994, branded as The X.[6] In April 1996, the station fired its program director and six DJs,[7] then aired a weekend-long stunt of disco music as "Polyester 101"[8] before switching to a country music format on May 6, 1996,[9][10] branded as "Froggy 100.7". The station later rebranded as "New Country 100.7".[11] On December 1, 1999, due to declining ratings, the station switched its call sign to WZBA, rebranded as 100.7 The Bay and changed formats to "Rock AC" (Rock Adult Contemporary), similar to WMMO in Orlando[12] with the slogan "Rock Without the Hard Edge".[13] In 2001, WZBA relocated its transmitter closer to Baltimore.[13] The station changed its format to classic rock[13] when WFXB changed formats from classic rock to smooth jazz on September 5, 2003. Signal noteWZBA is short-spaced to WLEV 100.7 WLEV (licensed to serve Allentown, Pennsylvania) as they operate on the same channel and the cities they are licensed to serve are only 107 miles apart.[14] The minimum distance between two Class B stations operating on the same channel according to current FCC rules is 150 miles.[15] TranslatorsWZBA programming is broadcast on the following translator:[16] {{RadioTranslators| call1 = W261CD | freq1 = 100.1 | watts1 = 2 | haat1 = 93 | class1 = D | city1 = Baltimore, Maryland }} References1. ^{{cite web|url=https://transition.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/fmq?call=WZBA |title=FM Query Results for WZBA |website=fcc.gov |publisher=Federal Communications Commission |accessdate=2016-05-21}} 2. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.bing.com/maps/?mapurl=https://transition.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/contourplot.kml?altcolor=FF7700%26appid=1279573%26call=WZBA%26freq=100.7%26contour=54%26city=WESTMINSTER&state=MD%26fileno=BLH-20081117ADX%26.kml |title=54 dBu Service Contour for WZBA, 100.7 MHz, Westminster, MD |website=bing.com |publisher=Federal Communications Commission |access-date=2016-05-21}} 3. ^{{cite report |author=Rollye James (Borenstein) |date=1989 |title=Mediatrix Market Profile |url=http://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-Mediatrix/Mediatrix-Baltimore-1986.pdf |publisher=Mediatrix, Inc. |page=15 |access-date=2016-05-21}} 4. ^1 2 {{cite report |author=Rollye James (Borenstein) |date=1989 |title=Mediatrix Market Profile |url=http://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-Mediatrix/Mediatrix-Baltimore-1986.pdf |publisher=Mediatrix, Inc. |page=56 |access-date=2016-05-21}} 5. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.playlistresearch.com/interviews/johnsebastian.htm |title=Interview with Radio Consultant John Sebastian |last1=Cosper |first1=Alex |date=2015-06-22 |website=playlistresearch.com |access-date=2016-05-21}} 6. ^{{cite news |last=McKerrow |first=Steve |date=1994-12-17 |title=2 rock stations seek same audience in format changes |url=http://articles.baltimoresun.com/1994-12-17/features/1994351107_1_david-zinman-format-rock-stations |newspaper=The Baltimore Sun |access-date=2016-05-21}} 7. ^{{cite news |last=Kaltenbach |first=Chris |date=1996-04-27 |title=WGRX, switching formats, fires DJs |url=http://articles.baltimoresun.com/1996-04-27/features/1996118051_1_wgrx-deutschman-lot-of-rock |newspaper=The Baltimore Sun |access-date=2016-05-21}} 8. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.movoto.com/guide/baltimore-md/never-again-in-baltimore/ |title=22 Things You'll Never See In Baltimore Again |last1=Norton |first1=Kristin |website=movoto.com |access-date=2016-05-21}} 9. ^{{cite news |author= |title=Baltimore's WGRX Leaps To Country |url=http://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-RandR/1990s/1996/R&R-1996-05-10.pdf |newspaper=R&R The Industry's Newspaper |publication-date=1996-05-10 |issue=1145 |page=3 |access-date=2016-05-21}} 10. ^{{cite news |last=Kaltenbach |first=Chris |date=1996-05-18 |title=WGRX-FM goes country |url=http://articles.baltimoresun.com/1996-05-08/features/1996129152_1_wgrx-country-music-listeners-music-station |newspaper=The Baltimore Sun |access-date=2016-05-21}} 11. ^{{cite web |url=http://airchexx.com/2010/10/07/danny-carlisle-roy-sampson-new-country-100-7-wgrx-westminsterbaltimore-july-19-1999/ |title=Danny Carlisle & Roy Sampson, New Country 100.7 WGRX Westminster/Baltimore July 19, 1999 |last1=West |first1=Steve |date=1999-07-19 |website=airchexx.com |access-date=2016-05-21}} 12. ^{{cite web |url=http://formatchange.com/country-1007-wgrx-becomes-rock-ac-the-bay-wzba/ |title=COUNTRY 100.7 WGRX BECOMES ROCK AC "THE BAY" WZBA |author=Lance |website=formatchange.com |access-date=2016-05-21}} 13. ^1 2 {{cite web |url=http://centrevillemaryland.us/baltradio.htm |title=Baltimore Radio |website=centrevillemaryland.us |access-date=2016-05-21}} 14. ^{{cite web|title=How Far is it Between Westminster, MD, United States and Allentown, Pa, United States |url=https://www.freemaptools.com/how-far-is-it-between-westminster_-md,-united-states-and-allentown_-pa,-united-states.htm |website=Free Map Tools |accessdate=2017-08-07}} 15. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CFR-2012-title47-vol4/pdf/CFR-2012-title47-vol4-sec73-207.pdf |title=Minimum distance separation between stations. 47 CFR 73.207 (1) |accessdate=2016-05-21}} 16. ^{{cite web |url=https://transition.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/fmq?call=w261cd |title=Station Search Details, W261CD |website=fcc.gov |publisher=Federal Communications Commission |access-date=2016-05-21}} External links
