WXBK (94.7 FM, "94.7 The Block") is a classic hip-hop-formatted radio station that is licensed to Newark, New Jersey, and serves the New York City area.

National Telefilm split up its holdings in 1961, with WNTA-TV being sold to a New York City-based nonprofit educational group (it is now WNET), and the WNTA radio stations going to Communications Industries Broadcasting.

[6] In 1964, the station was renamed WFME, and in March 1966, Family Radio purchased 94.7 FM outright and began airing its religious programming around-the-clock.

[7] WFME's local programming consisted of community announcements, weekend public affairs, and weather and traffic inserts during Family Radio's Rise and Rejoice morning show.

On January 6, 2012, Family Radio applied to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to change the license of WFME from noncommercial to commercial.

About twenty minutes after WFME signed off, 94.7 FM, under Cumulus ownership, began a simulcast of WPLJ, which broadcast a hot adult contemporary format.

[19] To coincide with the "Nash" launch, Cumulus swapped the WNSH call sign from its sister station in Cambridge, Minnesota (the present-day WLUP), on January 29, 2013.

The simulcast ended on August 31, 2015, when WELJ re-launched as Nash Icon (a country hits format focusing on songs and artists from the 1990s and early 2000s).

Following the sign off of the show, the station went into an hour of jockless music, ending with Carrie Underwood's "See You Again" and the Nelly remix of "Cruise" by Florida Georgia Line.

Unlike most of the area's FM stations like WHTZ (and WXBK's sister stations WCBS-FM, WFAN-FM and WNEW-FM), which transmit their signals from atop the Empire State Building, until 2022, WXBK transmitted its signal from First Mountain in West Orange, New Jersey, about 15 miles west of Midtown Manhattan.

Audacy, Inc. was granted a construction permit to move its transmitter site to Rutherford, New Jersey (which is closer to New York City), on a tower shared with WOR.
