[edit] History

WNMB signed on in the early 70s in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. For much of its history the station played an adult contemporary and oldies mix. In 1998, when it was called "B-105.9" and used a bee as a symbol, the station added Bob and Sheri. With ratings down and the other easy listening station having changed format in 2000, WNMB changed to its current letters and the easy listening format, dropping Bob and Sheri. The 94.5 WYEZ frequency was added later in the year. Over the next few years, the two stations evolved, reducing the number of instrumentals until eventually the stations' format crossed the line to standards. WYEZ dropped its simulcast in July 2007.[2]
