History

WCBC-FM began in 1990 as WKZG, always owned by Cumberland Broadcasting Corporation. The call letters were changed in 1994 to WCBC-FM, to match sister station WCBC 1270 AM. Previously, the WCBC-FM call letters were used between 1963 and 1969 by a Christian radio station in Baltimore, broadcasting on 105.7 MHz.{{cite news|title=Radio Highlights|newspaper=Baltimore Evening Sun|date=August 9, 1969|page=5}} The call letters stood for "Christian Broadcasting Company" and the station also used the advertising slogan "Where Christ Brings Comfort".{{cite news|title=WCBC-FM|newspaper=The Baltimore Sun|date=May 9, 1964|page=11}} That frequency is now WJZ-FM's in Baltimore.

WCBC-FM is also the home of NASCAR Nationwide Series, Camping World Truck Series, and Sprint Cup racing. WCBC carries all races from MRN Radio and PRN Radio, plus most (if not all) MRN and PRN programming.
