History

WRBR first signed on the air in 1965 as a Top 40 station. Its Top 40 format lasted until 1981 when its call letters changed to WXMG and flipped to adult contemporary. In 1984, the call letters were changed to WZZP; four years later, the station returned to a Top 40/CHR format, competing against WNDU-FM. A few years later, in 1991, the station returned to its original WRBR call letters. WRBR dropped CHR in 1993 for an oldies format which lasted until flipping to rock in 1998.
