WBLO is a radio station broadcasting a Spanish language format. Licensed to Thomasville, North Carolina, United States. The station is currently owned by GHB Radio and is leased to Norsan Multimedia.

History

The station began broadcasting in September 1947, and held the call sign WTNC. It originally ran 1,000 watts, during daytime hours only.
Buddy Poole and other partners bought WTNC and its FM station in 1984, and Poole served as general manager for 18 years.
When the station moved to High Point in the early 2000s, it played southern gospel music. On March 1, 2003, the station's call sign was changed to WIST. It aired an adult standards format along with WIST-FM. Its call sign was briefly changed to WFIK on November 12, 2004, before being changed to WZXY on November 26, 2004. The WBLO letters, the name "The Ball" and the sports talk format were adopted December 14, 2004.
On June 4, 2010, Norberto Sanchez of Norsan Multimedia said that his company would lease WIST-FM and WBLO, with an option to buy. WBLO kept its format until the end of the year.
