WBML (1350AM) is aradio station licensed toWarner Robins, Georgia and serves theMacon, Georgia area. Broadcasting aclassic hitsformat branded as "Fox FM", the station can also be heard on two FM translators in the Macon area, 94.7 W234CQ Macon which relays programming fromWFXM-HD4, and 95.5 W238CG Warner Robins, which is licensed to relay WBML. WBML is owned by John Timms.
The station signed on October 13, 1954, asWRPB, signifying Warner Robins, Perry and Byron. Other call letters includedWAVC,WCOP andWNNG.
Prior to the current format, WRWR simulcasted WRWR-FM's news/talk format and had beenWNNG, "Wing 1350", a satellite-fedadult standards station broadcastingABC Radio'sTimeless format (the station had used ABC's now-defunct "Unforgettable Favorites"/"Memories" network which was merged with "Timeless Classics" to create the current "Timeless Favorites", and before that,Westwood One'sAmerica's Best Music).
On February 19, 2015, WRWR changed its format from urban AC to black gospel, branded as "Praise 95.5" under new WYPZ calls.[2] The station changed itscall sign on October 5, 2015, to the current WBML.
In mid-2017, WBML started simulcasting programming from Classic Hits formatted "The Fox 94.7"WFXM-HD3/W234CQ Gordon/Macon. According to station management, station operator Christopher Murray, who owns WFXM, WRWR, and WYPZ in the Macon market (as well as WEKS, and WBAF in the Fayetteville market) has announced his plans to eventually acquire WBML from John Timms, who is currently the owner and engineer for WBML.
Eventually, WBML/WFXM-HD3/W234CQ would rebrand as "94.7 and 95.5 Fox FM" with no change in format.
As of 2020, the Classic Hits "Fox FM" brand can now be heard in the Fayetteville market on two separate AM stations (WBAF andWFDR) and their FM translators. While they aren't simulcasting WBML, the music playlist, logo, imaging and programming is almost identical to that of WBML. "Fox FM" programming was later expanded into Atlanta onWWPW-HD4/102.1 W271CV.
