[edit] 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 Mike Maze, Paul Kramer, "Doc" Livingston, Ronnie Fox, Dave Dallow, Marc Bishop, 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," JD Ryan in the Afternoon, the Tank Show broadcasting from 6p-9pm and PJ from 9pm-Midnight.
John Lorinc, currently an anchor/editor for CNN Radio made his radio debut at WBHV in 1994 during his junior year of college at Penn State University.
