History
Beginning-2002: WIBW-FM - Rock 97
Before becoming a country station, WIBW-FM had other formats. It was known as "Rock 97" and "The Rock of Kansas" during the 1970s, although its automated music primarily fit in the Top 40 category. The room with the FM programming doubled as the control room for the Kansas City Royals radio network when WIBW held the baseball team's broadcast rights.
2002-present: WIBW-FM - 94 Country
Previously, KJCK-FM in Junction City occupied this frequency. However, in order to move 97.3 into the Kansas City market, WIBW-FM needed to move to 94.5 MHz. KJCK-FM moved to 97.5 MHz. WIBW-FM was still on top of the ratings when the move occurred in September 2002. However, by 2004, KQTP had taken over the top country spot in town briefly. KTPK started to rally in 2005, also topping the ratings. Radio Rich and Louann, morning show hosts for 14 years, left for KQTP in early 2006. In 2011, WIBW-FM tied for fourth in the ratings, but the top five stations were all within a ratings point of each other. WIBW-FM currently airs the syndicated Lia show late at night.

Above Me
by: RufioIf I were to walk till time saw no end.
If I were to climb till the air was too thin.
I could not find a picture fit the frame.
As perfect as you.
As perfect as you.
You showed me life and lived nothing less.
Yet you're so above me.
I'll take my time you memory is bliss.
The angel above me.
When I look at the stars they shine of your eyes.
The sky it burns bright with your presence tonight.
Yet your so above me and I cannot fly.
To the angel above me I long to be with. With.
Angel above me.
To look at the mountains vast and great.
Is one step above in seeing your face.
To look at the stars for they lead the way.
To the angel above.
If I were to walk till time saw no end.
If I were to climb till the air was too thin.
I could not find a picture fit the frame.
As perfect as you.
As perfect as you.
You showed me life and lived nothing less.
Yet you're so above me.
I'll take my time you memory is bliss.
The angel above me.
When I look at the stars they shine of your eyes.
The sky it burns bright with your presence tonight.
Yet your so above me and I cannot fly.
To the angel above me I long to be with. With.
