WRBR-FM (103.9 MHz) is a radio station in South Bend, Indiana, United States, broadcasting an active rock format. The station is owned by Federated Media. WRBR-FM hosts several concerts and activities in the South Bend area. WRBR-FM was formerly an oldies station before switching to an active rock format.
History
[edit]The station was first licensed as WJVA-FM on August 5, 1964; it became WRBR in 1968.[2] Its Top 40 format lasted until 1981 when its call letters changed to WXMG and flipped to adult contemporary. In 1984, the call letters were changed to WZZP; four years later, the station returned to a Top 40/CHR format, competing against WNDU-FM. A few years later, in 1991, the station returned to the WRBR-FM call letters. WRBR dropped CHR in 1993 for an oldies format which lasted until flipping to rock in 1998.
