History

In 1987, WBHV was born as a Rock-40 alternative to WQWK - which aired at that time as a top-40 station. Shortly there after, WQWK switched back to its "QWK Rock" format and B103 moved into the top-40 niche in State College, Pennsylvania.

During the 1980s and 1990s, the station was generally referred to as B-103 (The Beaver), as its prior frequency was at 103.1 FM, where WQWK is currently broadcasting from. In terms of branding, WBHV initially identified itself as "B103 - The Beaver."

In the late 90's, the station changed its branding to "Beaver 103." In the early 2000s, the branding changed back to "103.1 - The Beaver."

In 2006, after a few years off the air, WBHV returned to the airwaves in State College at 94.5 FM. Notable air talent at "The Bee" included Matthew Haywood, Mike Maze, Paul Kramer, "Doc" Livingston, Ronnie Fox, Dave Dallow, Christian Myers, Kevin Collins and Steve Hilton (who for a period went by the name "Hitman")

The current lineup consists of Steve Hilton and the Most Music Morning (yes the same Steve Hilton from the 90's who returned to the station in 2007), a DJ Free "Zero Talk Workday" and JD Ryan in the Afternoon. Evenings and overnights are typically jockless with the music taking center stage.

Frequency history

Previous stations broadcasting to State College on the 94.5 FM frequency include WGGY (1991-1992), WFGI (1992-2001), adult contemporary WLTS (2001-2006), and WSMO (February-August 2006). The call letters were officially changed to WBHV-FM on August 29, 2006.
