[edit] History

In 1987, WBHV was born as a Rock-40 alternative to WQWK - which aired at that time as a top-40 station. Shortly there after, WQWK switched back to its "QWK Rock" format and B103 moved into the top-40 niche in State College, Pennsylvania.

During the 1980s and 1990s, the station was generally referred to as B-103 (The Beaver), as its prior frequency was at 103.1 FM, where WQWK is currently broadcasting from. In terms of branding, WBHV initially identified itself as "B103 - The Beaver." The late 80's air talent included Matthew Haywood, Johnny Hartwell, Marcia Gan, and Paul DeMille. Part-time voices included Ray St. John, Mike Mandell, Russ Rose, Tom Deelo, Tim Hess, Tracy Mannon, and Tracy Reynolds.

In the 1990s, the station changed its branding to "Beaver 103." In the early 2000s, the branding changed back to "103.1 - The Beaver."

As of 2006, the new frequency is at 94.5 FM.
