History.
WGBI signed on the frequency of 1250 kHz in 1925, owned by Frank S. Megargee. In
as WBZU, "104.7 The Buzz, Richmond's New Rock Alternative." The success of this station caused Richmond's AAA station WVGO to lose listeners. ABS later purchased WVGO (and its sister station WLEE-FM), changed WVGO's AAA format (and ended the local broadcast of "The Howard Stern Show") and moved "The Buzz" and the WBZU calls to 106.5, while 104.7 became a satellite-fed oldies station as "Oldies 104.7" (the WVGO calls were moved to 104.7) in
