History
In February 1999, WBBQ became an affiliate of Radio Disney.[2] In February 2000, WBBQ dropped the Radio Disney programming and switched to the ESPN Radio.[3]
Up until September 2010, this station, as WSGF, carried a gospel music format as "Hallelujah 1340". In September 2010, WYNF and its sports radio format moved to 1340; the call sign and format were previously on 1380, which was sold off and later became WNRR.
On June 29, 2020, fifteen iHeartMedia stations in markets with large African American populations, including WYNF, began stunting with African American speeches, interspersed with messages such as "Our Voices Will Be Heard" and "Our side of the story is about to be told", with a new format slated to launch on June 30.[4][5] That day, WYNF, along with the other fourteen stations, became the launch stations for the Black Information Network, an African American-oriented all-news radio network. Prior to the change, WYNF was a Fox Sports Radio affiliate.[6]
