History

WITH

WITH went on the air March 1, 1941, operating 24 hours a day with 250 watts power on 1200 kHz. It was owned and operated by Tom Tinsley and his family. Opening ceremonies included "a broadcast from the stage of the Maryland Theater, featuring seven songwriters represented by the American Society of Composers, Authors and Musicians, which was fighting with the radio networks over copyrights."

WRBS

In 2006, the Peter and John Radio Fellowship, Inc. acquired the station, the former WITH (1230) and changed its call letters to WRBS. The FM station is now licensed under the call letters WRBS-FM.
