History

98.1 signed on the air in 1968 as WAFB-FM and was the sister station to WAFB-TV. The station was affiliated with ABC Contemporary radio until the mid-1990s and Unistar Radio in the late 1990s. Their previous formats were easy listening, soft rock, disco, top 40 (as WGGZ, "Z98"), and oldies ("Oldies 98.1"). In 1995 they flipped to classic hits as "Eagle 98.1, Rock and Roll Classics" but would later shift to a classic rock format several months later.
