Henderson Belk, a North Carolina businessman, purchased WPDQ in 1964 from Brush-Moore Newspapers.

WPDQ moved higher up the dial to WMBR's old frequency, 1460 kHz, continuing its Top 40 format.

Then, in 1980, the call sign were changed to WAIV, and began simulcasting Top 40 programming from its FM sister station WAIV-FM, known as "The Big Wave".

Music continued on WOKV through the 1980s, with various adjustments from pop country to adult contemporary to oldies.

The call sign were changed to WBOB, and the format flipped to conservative talk radio, featuring Bill Bennett's Morning in America, Laura Ingraham and Glenn Beck, along with a variety of local news and talk programming.
