Station history.
The station began in 1968 as an FM sister to station WRBC and was owned by the Rebel Broadcasting Company. Most of the disc jockeys
silent (as the case with New Orleans due to Hurricane Katrina).
A short time later, WRJH was sold at a bankruptcy auction. That was when Roberts Broadcasting bought WRJH for $1,950,000.00, eventually moved its studios into TV station WRBJ's and changed the callsign to WRBJ.
WRBJ's playlist mainly consists of Hip Hop and R&B. Unlike most stations, this one plays smoother music during the workday timeframe while it plays newer music later afternoons into the early evening, thus positioning WRBJ well with its competitors WJMI,
