The station went on the air on January 20, 1947, on a frequency of 1490 kHz. In 1952, WBUD moved to its current frequency of 1260 kHz. During a period in the late 1970s, the station held the call letters WTRT. On May 29, 1980, the station adopted the call letters WKXW. It reverted to the original call sign WBUD on September 1, 1981 and has held those call letters ever since. [2] [3]
