[edit] History

WFBQ began operation as WFBM in 1959 as the FM sister station to WFBM-AM (now WNDE) and WFBM-TV (now WRTV).

In 1957, the three WFBM stations were sold to Time-Life, Inc. In 1972, WFBM-TV became WRTV. In August 1973, WFBM-AM became top 40 WNDE. WFBM-FM had become oldies formatted WFBQ earlier that same year. One year later WFBQ became "Rock N' Stereo" (the FM Top 40 counterpart to AM sister WNDE) using an automation package called "Stereo Rock" produced by TM Productions of Dallas. On Valentine's Day 1978 "Rock N' Stereo" was dropped in favor of album-oriented rock and live DJs
