History

The station received its construction permit from the Federal Communications Commission in the late 1990s. The original owner, planning a Christian radio format, chose the call sign WBFG for the slogan "We Broadcast for God." In 1999, the construction permit was acquired by Crossroads Broadcasting LLC, based in Lexington. The station signed on the air in late 1999. It had a sports radio format, featuring programming from ESPN Radio and local coverage of West Tennessee high school sports. In 2023, the station flipped to a conservative talk format, with local hosts part of the day and syndicated talk shows nights and weekends.
