After a two month delay, Classical "W-Bach" debuted on 5/1/2006. Changed call letters to WBQK (from WTYD) on 12/9/2005 in anticipation of the format change to Classical as "Williamsburg's Classical, W-Bach" on 3/1/2006. Became "107.9 & 92.3 The Tide" when the owners agreed to purchase Bullseye Broadcasting's 50s-70s Oldies "Surf 92.3" WSRV Deltaville/Gloucester in August 2005 for $850,000 and immediately started a LMA (local marketing agreement). Changed call letters from WWBR to WTYD 5/6/05. Sold to Davis Media, headed up by Thomas G Davis, for $1.125M. WWBR, in the Virginia Beach/Norfolk market, is the first station for Davis Media. Previous owner was Winner Broadcasting, headed by Jim Campana, who passed away. The station was run briefly by his widow Sherry; simulcasting sister station (Bullseye Broadcasting) 50s-70s Oldies "Surf 92.3" WSRV Deltaville. Jim Campana started the station back in 1989, first with Country as WPTG then satellite-fed Soft AC "107.9 FM The Breeze - Hit Music, Light as The Breeze" WWBR in April 2000. Simulcasted urban WWHV-FM/102.1 Virginia Beach VA (a TSA for $11,000/mo) from 2/2/03 to 1/7/05 and was known as "Hot 102.1 & 107.9." Best heard SE of Richmond and on the Peninsula of Hampton Roads. |
