History
The station was assigned the call letters WICI-FM on January 31, 1995. On February 17, 1995, the station changed its call sign to WICI. On January 21, 2009, the station changed its callsign to the current WWBD.[3]
The "Bad Dog" classic rock format moved from the station that is now WMXZ to WGFG early in 2009. The former WICI also began airing the music, but a few months later added more newer rock.
WWBD was active rock as Rock 94.7 but moved to edgier classic rock from the 70s through the 90s after it fell in the Fall 2018 ratings.[4]
gollark: I'm talking to you by pressing certain parts of a transparent material over an LCD display, in fact. My messages are transmitted by electromagnetic waves to a receiver which is also connected to the long pieces of metal, which do eventually go to a device which sends electromagnetic waves through a glass cable.
gollark: Sort of like enums which can hold data.
gollark: Algebraic Data Types.
gollark: It has ADTs and other such usefulnesses.
gollark: It's quite cool, though; it's a functionalish systems programming language.
