History

WBIM-FM went on the air November 1, 1972, as a non-commercial 10-watt Class D FM station. On April 2, 1982, at 3 p.m., WBIM-FM increased its power to the current 180 watts (ERP, H/V). On July 7, 1982, WBIM-FM switched to stereo at 7 p.m. with the playing of Queen's "Body Language" (no specific reason given, it was just what was on the turntable at the time).
