Perspective
Beginning in the late 1970s, then-WAYZ 101.5 FM was a country-formatted station.
VerStandig bought FM 104.7 from John Staub (Hagerstown Broadcasting) and moved the WAYZ country format there in 2000, leaving it with FM 101.5; it broadcast an audio CNN headline news format for three weeks.[citation needed]
Top 40 "Magic 101.5" debuted in October 2000, and operated until February 27, 2005. This returned the format for the first time since WKMZ changed back to album-oriented rock in 1993.
On February 27 of that year, Hagerstown-based WARX flipped to classic hits as "106.9 The Eagle", a few hours before Verstandig flipped WWMD to classic rock as "Eagle 101.5" with the callsign WEEG.[2] After a few days of dueling "Eagle"s, WWMD ceded the branding, briefly going with "The New 101.5".[3] The following week, it became "Classic Rock 101.5" with the callsign WFYN. Local media observers noted the similarity of the new callsign, which had no obvious meaning, to a profane insult ("fuck you, Nassau") over the branding conflict.[4][5]
On September 17, 2007, WFYN flipped from classic rock to active rock as Rock 101.5.
On March 16, 2009, WFYN became WBHB-FM and changed its Rock 101.5 branding to 101.5 Bob Rocks; it continues to broadcast an active rock format.
In July 2025, Verstanding Media announced that WBHB-FM active rock format will moved to 92.1, and WAYZ country format will moved back to the old 101.5 since 2000.
