History

[edit]

The station signed on as W56CD inRome, Georgia; then W26BT; WANX-LP in January 2000; and WTBS-LP on October 15, 2007. The WANX call letters were formerly used by CBS affiliate WANF.

In 2014, the analog WTBS-LP reappeared underspecial temporary authority on TV channel 6, which can also be received on 87.75MHz of the FM dial. All analog television channels had been scheduled to cease broadcasting in September 2015; this was suspended by the FCC in April of that year. In 2017, it was announced that July 13, 2021, would be the new analog low-power television transmission shutoff date. Analog channel 6 later broadcast anurban AC format branded as "Mix 87.7", which is also heard via stereo audio on 87.75 FM. Steve Hegwood, the operator of Mix 87.7 announced it would cease using the WTBS frequency on January 31, 2019, due to financial shortfalls and an overcompetitive market for radio targeted at Atlanta's black community.[2] As of February 1, 2019, WTBS-LP became a Regional Mexican station called "La Invasora".

WTBS-LP was licensed for digital operation on July 14, 2021, and changed its call sign to WTBS-LD. On July 16, the station receivedspecial temporary authority from theFederal Communications Commission (FCC) to provide an ancillary audio signal at 87.7 FM .On July 20, 2023, an FCC "Report and Order" included this station as one of 13"FM6" stations allowed to continue to operate an FM radio broadcast, as a "ancillary or supplementary" service.[3]

Sometime between 2020 and 2022,[when?] La Invasora 87.7 became La Que Buena 87.7 and retained Its Regional Mexican format.

On January 13, 2025, La Que Buena 87.7 became 87.7 The Vibe and changed their format to urban adult contemporary.[4]
