WOBB (100.3 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a country music format. Licensed to Tifton, Georgia, United States, the station serves the Albany, Georgia area. The station is owned by iHeartMedia, Inc. and features programming from Premiere Radio Networks.[1] Its studios are on Westover Boulevard in Albany, and the transmitter is located southeast of Sylvester, Georgia.

History[edit]

The station signed on the air with the assigned call sign WCUP in 1975, and first picked up a beautiful music format. In 1983, WCUP flipped its format to Top 40/CHR after former Top 40 station WWGS-AM dropped its format. On August 1, 1985, the station changed its call sign to WSGY, and became known as "Y-100" ("South Georgia's Power Station"). When 1989 rolled along, the station downgraded its Top 40 format to an adult contemporary format. This lasted until mid-1993 when the station dropped the format and flipped to its current country format, and on March 18, 1994, the station changed its call letters to WOBB.[2]
