History

WBBN began in a mobile home near Hebron, Mississippi, in 1985 as an automated-assist station (automated equipment with live personalities) and it has built a reputation for the "most accurate news reporting" of all radio stations in the market. The station has since expanded to a more permanent structure, following its success against other competing country stations. B-95 is an ABC Radio affiliate, broadcasting Paul Harvey news and commentary six days a week. B-95 is owned by Blakeney Communications, Inc.

gollark: You can just work on it during lessons.
gollark: Oh, I forgot you're not in school, you'll be fine then.
