WRTB (95.3 FM) is a radio station licensed to serve Winnebago, Illinois, and serving the Rockford, Illinois, market. WRTB has used the Bob FM format since August 1, 2006.
History
From 1985-2000 the station was a popular oldies format with the call letters WKMQ. In 2000, the format was changed to classic hits as Y95 and call letters WYHY. The first lineup of WYHY featured Riley O Neil and Sky Drysdale, within the first ratings period the station went to #1. From 2002-2003 the station evolved into a classic rock format, and syndicated Bob & Tom moved from sister WXRX. In the mid-2000s following the sale to Maverick Media, the station changed formats again to Bob FM and call letters to WRTB.
Previous call letters were WYFE from 1978-1985.
