WLBS-FM: IT’S THE ONE . . . 102.7 FM DISCO AND MORE

 

WLBS-FM

— 102.7 FM —

 

_______________

 

WBRB-FM (Mt. Clemons) became the new WLBS-FM in January, 1979.

The “New Music” station, purchased by Inner City Broadcasting Corporation, based in New York, formatted the station with predominantly disco music from the outset. Having dominated the Detroit FM dial with their new “Disco and More” sound, the station’s format was left virtually unchanged for nearly five years on 102.7 FM.

WLBS-FM became the new WKSG-FM, “Kiss 102.7 FM” (oldies) on November 9, 1984.
