WBFG (96.5 FM) is a radio station licensed to Parker's Crossroads, Tennessee, and serving rural West Tennessee and Jackson. The station broadcasts a talk radio format and is owned by News Talk West Tennessee, LLC.[1] [2] The station brands itself as "News-Talk West Tennessee" and also produces local coverage of local high school football and basketball.
WBFG has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 6,000 watts as a Class A FM station. The transmitter is on Enochs Lane near Tennessee State Route 22 in Parker's Crossroads.[3]
The station received its construction permit from the Federal Communications Commission in the late 1990s. The original owner, planning a Christian radio format, chose the call sign WBFG for the slogan "We Broadcast for God."[4] In 1999, the construction permit was acquired by Crossroads Broadcasting LLC, based in Lexington.[5]
The station signed on the air in late 1999.[6] It had a sports radio format, featuring programming from ESPN Radio and local coverage of West Tennessee high school sports. In 2023, the station flipped to a conservative talk format, with local hosts part of the day and syndicated talk shows nights and weekends.
