Past formats included Top 40 (As WKFM in the 1970s and early 1980s as "Magic 104.7") and Classic Rock (as "KIX 104.7").

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 simulcasts WTKW, the FM simulcasts K-LOVE). In August 2009, WBBS was challenged by WVOA-FM, which changed to a country music format known as "The Wolf."

Incidentally, WVOA was, circa 2000, owned by Clear Channel, and actually simulcasted WBBS under the call sign WXBB.

In 2004, B104.7's Ron and Becky received a CMA Award for "Personality of the Year" for a US Medium Market. Current morning team hosts Tom and Becky were nominated for a CMA and ACM awards in 2009 and 2010.
