[edit] History
Prior to January 2007 it was known as WJBW, and between January 2007 and December 2011, it was known as WNEW-FM. Despite these call letter changes, the station's branding remains "B106.3".
The WNEW call letters were formerly the call letters for New York City radio stations WNEW AM (now WBBR) and WNEW-FM (now WWFS), as well as New York City television station WNEW-TV (now WNYW). CBS Radio, who also owns WWFS, "warehoused" the WNEW calls to WJBW in January 2007.
On December 1, 2011 WNEW changed their call letters to WHFS[4], in effect doing the same "warehousing" move for those call letters, which were tied to long-running alternative rock stations in three different incarnations in the Baltimore and Washington, DC markets in the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s.
[edit] Programming
WHFS a.k.a "B106.3" carries on an Urban Adult Contemporary format playing R&B and soul music. It carries two syndicated shows: The Tom Joyner Morning Show and Love, Lust and Lies with Michael Baisden in the afternoons. B-106.3 also brings gospel programming on Sunday mornings and Classic Soul on Sunday afternoons.
WHFS is one of only 2 urban adult contemporary-formatted station owned by CBS Radio (the other is WBAV in Charlotte).
