History
In September 2004, WAGH, then known as WBFA, flipped from a contemporary hit radio format branded as "B101" to a mainstream urban format branded as "The Beat". In September 2007, this format, branding, and the WBFA call letters were swapped with sister station WAGH.

The station was assigned the WBFA call letters by the Federal Communications Commission on September 4, 2007.

In July 1998, adult contemporary music formatted WAGH ("Magic 98") was purchased by M&M Partners Inc. for a reported $2 million to become the fifth station in that ownership group's Columbus cluster.

WBFA, along with sister station WSHE, officially joined the Aloha Station Trust on August 4, 2008.

On November 24, 2017, after being in the Aloha Trust for 8 years, WBFA was bought by RCG Media for $1.1 million. The sale was consummated on January 24, 2018.
