WBBS ("B-104.7 FM") is a Country music formatted radio station serving the Syracuse area. The iHeartMedia, Inc. outlet broadcasts at 104.7 MHz with an ERP of 50 kW and is licensed to Fulton, New York. ==History== The station, which debuted in 1961 as WOSC, with the call sign representing its home county, Oswego County. The station has been a Country outlet since 1993 and adopted the WBBS-FM calls shortly after changing format. Past formats included Top 40 (As WKFM in the 1970s and early 1980s as "Magic 104.7") and Classic Rock (as "104.7 KIX-FM"). B104.7 used to host an annual summer concert with national recording acts called B-Jam, which has most recently coordinated with Harborfest in Oswego, NY. The last BJAM concert was held in 2007; no concert was held in 2008. For most of the early to middle 2000s, WBBS competed with WSCP, a Sandy Creek-based AM/FM classic country outlet. WSCP never threatened WBBS's top standing; though it developed a niche audience, WSCP eventually gave up in 2007 (the AM station now carries ESPN Deportes Radio, the FM is now K-LOVE affiliate WGKV). In August 2009, WBBS was challenged by WVOA-FM, which became country music station WOLF-FM, known as "The Wolf." Incidentally, WOLF-FM was, circa 2000, owned by Clear Channel (now known as iHeartMedia), and actually ''simulcasted'' WBBS under the call sign ''WXBB''. Current morning team hosts Tom and Becky were nominated for a CMA and ACM awards in 2009 and 2010. Tom Owens and Becky Palmer broadcast live from the CMA Awards in Nashville. In 2004, B104.7's Ron and Becky received a CMA Award for "Personality of the Year" for a US Medium Market. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「WBBS」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
