 From May 1979 to October 1980, WFBL, then known as "Fire 14," used consultant Mike Joseph's Hot Hits format as a Top 40 competitor to 1490 WOLF.The station dropped "Hot Hits" in October 1980 in favor of the then-emerging adult standards format called Music of Your Life.The WFBL calls (and standards format) later moved to 1050 AM in Baldwinsville, New York (now WBVG) before returning to their original home at 1390.
