[2] The station began broadcasting in 1948 under the full-service format, playing a variety of music along with local and national news and sports programs.
Not long after WQRK's switch from AOR to oldies in 1999, WBIW began phasing out music programming and disc jockeys in favor of syndicated talk shows such as those from Rush Limbaugh and Dr. Laura Schlessinger.
Local personality Myron Rainey has been the voice of the BNL Stars since 1980, and he continues on the broadcasts as of 2010–11.
