History:

This station came on the air in the early 90's with a Christian rock format with the moniker "Power 88". This is the FM companion of religious formatted WBHY AM 840. Plans have been in the works since December of 2000 to increase power to 100 kW, as soon as the funds are available for the upgrade.  The station currently feeds a fairly extensive series of translators throughout the coastal area.
