History
[edit | edit source]WBBN began in a mobile home near Hebron, Mississippi, in 1985 as an automated-assist station (automated equipment with live personalities) and it has built a reputation for the "most accurate news reporting" of all radio stations in the market. The station has since expanded to a more permanent structure, following its success against other competing country stations.
