History

The station got its construction permit from the Federal Communications Commission in 1990. Before it was on the air, it was given the call sign WXME and was licensed to Avon, New York. The first owner was Karen S. Klehamer.[2] In 1993, it signed on the air as WEZO, playing an easy listening format. At that time it was owned by The Lincoln Group L.P.[3]

In May 1995, WEZO switched to classic rock as WHRR "The River".[4]

Before changing to variety hits in April 2005, the station carried an oldies format as "Oldies 93.3" and later "93BBF".[5]

The station was previously owned by Entercom Communications (now Audacy, Inc.)
