Top 40 station in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Despite the station's high ratings (especially with younger listeners), B95 was unsuccessful in terms of revenue because it played hip-hop and rap music that was unpopular with local advertisers.

Clear Channel Communications has been completed. 95.3 WBXX began to simulcast with AM 930 WBCK-AM (now Country 93 with a classic country format) and WBXX 95.3 FM began broadcasting on 104.9 (formerlyWRCC ). 95.3 FM became the permanent home of WBCK's news/talk format.On
