The idea for WFHB began in the summer of 1975, when radio enthusiasts from Bloomington attended the National Alternative Radio Konference in Madison, Wisconsin. After returning from the conference, they founded a non-profit organization to establish a community radio station and began the process of applying for a Federal Communications Commission license and raising the necessary funds. Eighteen years later, on January 4, 1993, following numerous applications and several court cases, WFHB began broadcasting in a former city fire station in downtown Bloomington.Translators
In addition to its main frequency, WFHB is relayed by three translators to widen its broadcast area.
