History
The "94.7 Bob FM" branding replaced WFGO "Froggy 94.7" on January 5, 2007. Froggy 94.7 was one of the Froggy stations that neither carried country music nor used fictitious frog-themed names for its disc jockeys.
The present-day WXBB call sign was previously assigned to what is now WSAK/WSHK.
WXBB can also be heard in Ashtabula, Ohio, and surrounding areas.
On March 27, 2019, Connoisseur Media announced that it would transfer WXBB along with its sister stations to iHeartMedia in exchange for WFRE and WFMD in the Frederick, Maryland market from the Aloha Station Trust.[1] The sale closed on May 21, 2019.
