The station carried a mix of locally-produced and syndicated programming, with specialty music shows on weekends, plus live sports including the Philadelphia Phillies and 76ers.
The station was signed-on in 1962 by Martin Phillip under the call letters WYNS (pronounced wins) on 1150 kHz.
WBYN was for a time inactive, after having reported to the FCC through its licenseholder's attorney the theft of copper radials and ground system of the station's transmitter as of March 4, 2018.
[5] In August 2019, WBYN began a simulcast of WEEU-AM in Reading, pending its acquisition by Twilight Broadcasting, which was announced in November 2019.
Due to issues related to the station's studio and transmitter site, the sale to Twilight Broadcasting was never consummated.
Connoisseur Media surrendered WBYN's license to the Federal Communications Commission on October 12, 2021, who cancelled it the same day.
