WBBA History... Here is Mike Perrine on the air at the old studio south of town in December of 1959. We're proud to be the Twin Pikes original radio station for over 70 years! Sadly Mike recently passed away at the age of 83, and his family posted this picture up online.

🎶 Over the years, WBBA has worn a lot of hats—playing everything from rock and roll to country, airing sports, Christian programs, and talk radio. But one thing has always stayed the same: our commitment to the community.

As the only full-power commercial FM station between St. Louis and Quincy, Illinois, and one of just a few stations serving Pike, Ralls, and Lincoln Counties in Missouri, WBBA brings you the things you love most: Cardinals Baseball, University of Illinois sports, local news, weather, sports updates, agricultural reports, and more.

We’ve built a full-service regional radio station that celebrates all the pieces of WBBA that our listeners have loved through the years—keeping you informed, entertained, and connected to the communities we serve.

📻 Tune in and see why WBBA is The Voice of the Twin Pikes! Stream us live online worldwide at B975Radio.com!

📻 A Note to Our Listeners

Hey friends, we’ve gotten a few messages about some recent ads on the station and wanted to clear things up.

Our policy is that we don’t run local alcohol ads. That’s important to us, and we stick to it. That said, since we air Major League Baseball and NCAA sports, some alcohol sponsorships come with those broadcasts, and unfortunately, we can’t take those out.

Recently, on The TJ Show, we have received complaints from multiple listeners about a liquor store spot running excessively. This has been addressed from the people at The TJ Show, and they will be sending us different spots starting next week by midweek.

At B87.5 it is our desire to provide family and workplace friendly content every day! We’re doing our best to keep everything else family-friendly and focused on our community.

Thank you for holding us accountable and for continuing to support WBBA. Our listeners mean everything to us, and we’re grateful for your feedback. 🙏❤️
