Station history

98.1 signed on July 4th, 1988 as WYBB with an Album Rock format known as "98 Rock". The station took on a more classic rock sound in the 90's. 98 Rock was able to hold its own against newcomer classic rock station WRFQ throughout the 90's. On January 1, 2004, the station stunted with a montage of songs and clips for a day as "Sound Effects Radio". Clips of sound effects were played from 12 Midnight New Years Day until 6am on January 2, 2004. At 6 A.M. WYBB's Morning Show Howard Stern came on with announcements that a big change was coming at 10 AM. At 10 AM the montage was "fired" by a sound clip of Donald Trump saying the phrase "You're Fired" from "The Apprentice" TV show and "98X" was born. The first song on the air was Guerrilla Radio from Rage Against the Machine.
