Originally on 94.5, the WLTS call sign and format moved to 99.5 while 94.5 became WBHV-FM. 99.5 was originally a class A station licensed to the town of Mount Union using the call sign WXMJ (Magic 99.5). When purchased by Forever Broadcasting, the company applied for and was granted a change in the city of license to Centre Hall along with a change to a class B1 (25,000 watts equivalent) status. The transmitter site was moved to Tussey Mountain on the south side of State College.
On January 22, 2019, WMAJ-FM's CHR format moved to WBUS 93.7 FM Boalsburg, swapping frequencies with classic rock-formatted "The Bus" and the station assuming the WBUS call sign.[1]
It was announced on October 12, 2022 that Forever Media was selling 34 stations, including WBUS and five other sister stations, to State College-based Seven Mountains Media for $17.3 million.[2] The deal closed on January 1, 2023.[3]
