Originally licensed to broadcast at 103.5 MHz, the station petitioned the FCC in August 2005 to change frequencies as its signal suffered interference from WKGL in Russellville, Alabama, and WMXV in Littleville, Alabama.[7] The FCC authorized the change in October 2005 and WFBH-LP began broadcasting at the current 96.7 MHZ in July 2006.[8]
