WBIG-FM
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- WBIG was also an AM station in Greensboro, NC that served the Piedmont Triad from 1926 to 1986. The WBIG calls on the AM dial are currently being used by an AM station in Aurora, Illinois.
WBIG-FM, or "Big 100.3," is a classic hits radio station for the Washington, D.C. area. It formerly went by the slogan "Big 100", and before that, "Oldies 100." It is owned by Clear Channel Communications. It plays music from the late 60s, 70s and early 80s.
WBIG was "evolved" from an oldies format to classic rock hits ('70s and early '80s) on April 3, 2006. The changeover was not announced, and the new format followed Jack FM's lead by removing a good chunk of DJ's and radio personalities such as "Goldie" and Scooter Magruter.
Current lineup: Mornings (5a - 9a): Jon Ballard, Middays (9a - 2p): Lisa Berigan, Afternoons (2p - 7p): Scott Struber.
WBIG currently keeps three external programs to it's Sunday lineup: a broadcast from McLean Bible Church, "MetroTalk" a news and interview talk show, and Beatle Brunch.
Prior to becoming WBIG, it was Washington's first FM urban contemporary station as WOOK-FM "OK100", then as WDJY "DJ100". For several years in the early 1990s it featured an eclectic smooth jazz format as WJZE "Jazzy 100".
