WBNL, which was founded by Jack Sanders and Norman Hall, went on the air in 1950.

With an effective radiated power of 250 watts during daytime hours, the station can be heard in all or part of 20 surrounding counties, as far west as southeastern Illinois, and as far south as western Kentucky.

Cubs games have been broadcast on WBNL to listeners in southwestern Indiana ever since.

WBNL-FM would later be sold to South Central Communications, which now operates the station under the call letters WJPS.

After nearly 60 years on the air, WBNL continues to serve the Boonville and Warrick County community, with mostly locally based programming and high school sporting events.
