History
The station signed on October 13, 1954, as WRPB, signifying Warner Robins, Perry and Byron. Other callsigns included WAVC, WCOP, WNNG, and WRWR.Prior to the current format, WRWR simulcasted WRWR-FM's news/talk format and had been WNNG, "Wing 1350", a satellite-fed adult standards station broadcasting ABC Radio's Timeless format.
On February 19, 2015, WRWR changed its format from urban AC to black gospel, branded as "Praise 95.5" under new WYPZ calls. The station changed its call 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 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 and their FM translators. While they are not simulcasting WBML, the music playlist, logo, imaging and programming is almost identical to that of WBML. "Fox FM" programming was later expanded into Atlanta on WWPW-HD4/102.1 W271CV.
