WTBF AM

WTBF (970 AM) is a radio station based in Troy, Alabama, owned by Troy Broadcasting Corp. It broadcasts a sports format, featuring programming from CBS Sports Radio. The station began broadcasting on February 25, 1947, initially operating under the call sign WTBC before changing to WTBF due to prior use of the original name.

Throughout its history, WTBF has transitioned through various formats, including MOR (middle-of-the-road), country music, and adult contemporary. Notable events include live coverage of the Apollo 11 launch in 1969 and the station's evolution from a variety of daytime programming to a sports format in 2015. The station has maintained its original audio processor since its inception, with only one disconnection during frequency changes.

WTBF's programming has historically included a mix of genres, such as Top 40 at night and country during the day, with notable shows like "Night Flight" and "Night Visions." The station's history also features quirky morning segments, giveaways, and coverage of local events. Its tower, once over 300 feet tall, is now owned by a radio station in Puerto Rico.

Today, WTBF focuses on sports programming, reflecting its current role as part of CBS Sports Radio's network.
