WBSX is a FM radio station licensed to the city of Hazleton, Pennsylvania, broadcasting to the Scranton/Wilkes Barre/Hazleton radio market on 97.9 MHz. WBSX airs an active rock music format branded as "97-9 X" (pronounced as "Ninety-Seven Nine X").
History
The radio station first signed on the air in 1949 as WAZL-FM, the FM sister station to WAZL AM also located in the city of Hazleton. During the early 1970s, the station switched to what was branded as a "beautiful music" format (which was a form of Easy Listening or Elevator Music) and the call sign WVCD. The station was automated with no live DJs or announcers during this time. The station evolved their music format slightly by 1985 when the station changed call signs to WWSH and branded on air as "Wish 98". The station made a dramatic switch in 1994 to a rock music format and another call sign change to WZMT to reflect the new on air branding as "The Mountain". In 1996, it was renamed "98 Rock". In 1997, under Citadel Broadcasting, the name changed to "The Bear", with the call letters WXBE, and featuring the syndicated Howard Stern Show in mornings. 2001 saw a shift to a format branded as "classic hard rock", name change to "Z-Rock", and call letters to WAOZ. 7 months later, the station returned to a more current-based rock format under the call sign of WBSX, and branding as "97-9 X" with an alternative rock format. By 2007, the station adopted its current active rock format. Citadel merged with Cumulus Media on September 16, 2011.

Rattle My Chain
by: BasicsYouYou want
You want me
You want me to give you a chance
Now mama let me see
See what
See what you
See what you could offer to me
Now mama let me see
(Good)
Look at you, you think that you're so good
(Weren't that good)
If there was anything to like I would
(Yes I would)
I won't pretend to understand it but I thought you
would
Tell me why you rattle my chain
Why do you rub me the wrong way?
Everything you say just drives me insane
You don't answer to nothing
You push all my buttons
You try to be nice
I take convince
I know it don't make any sense
But I don't need your advice
You say it's all in my head
I said don't try to explain,
You know you rattle my chain
You're gonna do it again
You want
You want me
You want me to give you a chance
Now mama let me see
See what
See what you
See what you could offer to me
Now mama let me see
(Good)
Everybody thinks that you're so good
(Weren't that good)
I don't get along with anything you do
(You're so good)
It's so hard for me to be polite to you
(Oooh)
And the only thing I wanna say is:
Why do you rattle my chain?
Why do you rub me the wrong way?
Everything you say just drives me insane
You don't answer to nothing
You push all my buttons
You try to be nice
I take convince
I know it don't make any sense
But I don't need your advice
You say it's all in my head
I said don't try to explain,
You know you rattle my chain
