==History==
On December 9, 1932, The [[Federal Radio Commission]] approved transferring the license for WFBC (the station's call letters at that time) from Virgil V. Evans to the Greensville News-Piedmont Company. At the time, WFBC operated on 1200 kHz with 50 watts of power.<ref>{{cite news|title=Newspaper Buys|url=http://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-BC/BC-1932/1932-12-15-BC.pdf|accessdate=7 October 2014|agency=Broadcasting|date=December 15, 1932}}</ref> On January 8, 1935, the [[Federal Communications Commission]] approved increasing the station's power to 5,000 watts.<ref>{{cite news|title=Increases in Day Power Are Given Six Stations|url=http://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-BC/BC-1935/1935-01-15-BC.pdf|accessdate=17 October 2014|agency=Broadcasting|date=January 15, 1935}}</ref>
Years later, WFBC was known for its top-40 format. The call letters continue to be used by [[WFBC-FM]]. WYRD and [[WORD (AM)|WORD]] added 106.3 (now [[WYRD-FM]]) as an FM simulcast in 2008.
