History
The station was originally WBIE,a full-service daytimer facility owned by James M. Wilder, who later started a simulcast on WBIE-FM 101.5 MHz (now WKHX-FM, and still a country music station owned by Citadel Broadcasting). WBIE's original operating frequency was 1050 kHz, with 500 watts of non-directional daytime power. In 1965, WBIE moved to 1080 kHz with 10,000 watts directional daytime; shortly thereafter WBIE picked up the CBS Radio affiliation for the Metro Atlanta area, which it held onto well into the 1970s. Several noted newsmen worked at WBIE early in their careers, including Steve Walsh (later at KGO/ABC News), and Chris Little (KFI News Director). The station has had the call signs WCOB in 1978, WEKS in 1985, and WJYA in 1987. WFTD's current call sign has remained with the station since the late 1980s.

Ain't Livin' Long Like This
by: FoghatR. Crowell - Jolly Cheeks Music - BMI
I looked for trouble and I found it son,
Straight down the barrel of a lawman's gun.
I'd try to run but I don't think I can,
You make one move and you're a dead man, friend.
Ain't livin' long like this,
Can't live at all like this, can I baby?
He slipped the handcuffs on behind my back,
Then left me freezin' on a steel rail rack.
Can't sleep at all in the jailhouse baby,
Ain't livin' long like this.
Grew up in Houston on the wayside drive,
Son of a car hop in some all nite dive.
Dad drove a stock car to an early death,
All I remember was a drunk man's breathe.
Ain't livin' long like this,
Can't live at all like this, can I baby?
We know the story how the wheel goes 'round,
Don't let 'em take you to the man downtown,
They got 'em all in the jailhouse baby.
Ain't livin' long like this,
Can't live at all like this, can I baby? Ah take it!
{Erik - Solo}
I live for Angel, she's a road house queen,
Makes Texas Ruby look like Sandra Dee.
I want to love her but I don't know how,
I'm at the bottom of a jailhouse now.
Ain't livin' long like this,
Can't live at all like this, can I baby?
You know the story 'bout the jailhouse rock,
Go on and do it, but just don't get caught.
They got 'em all in the jailhouse baby.
Oh, ain't livin' long like this.
Oh no!
