History
WNBT-FM began as the FM sister station of Farm & Home Broadcasting Company-owned WNBT (now WNDA) with the call letters WGCR-FM. The station was initially granted a construction permit to operate at the frequency of 97.7 MHz at an effective radiated power of a thousand watts in August 1968. In 1973, the FCC granted permission for WGCR-FM to drop the 'FM' from its call letters, change its city of license from Wellsboro to "Wellsboro-Mansfield", and change its dial position from 97.7 to 104.5 MHz, with a power increase to 50,000 watts.
In May 2017, WNBT-FM changed its format from hot adult contemporary (branded as "The Buzz") to country, branded as "Bigfoot Country 104.5".[3]
On July 9, 2018, WNBT-FM began simulcasting on WZBF (96.9 FM) in Ridgebury; that station was previously adult contemporary-formatted WVYS "Yes FM".[4]
