WFBY (93.5 FM) is a classic rock formatted broadcast radio station licensed to Buckhannon, West Virginia, serving Bridgeport, Elkins, Philippi, and Weston in West Virginia.[1] WFBY is owned and operated by WVRC Media.[4]

On January 31, 2018, the then-WBTQ changed their call letters to WFBY and changed their format to classic rock, branded as "The FBY" (format moved from WFBY 102.3 FM Weston, which switched to a simulcast of rock-formatted WCLG-FM 100.1 FM Morgantown under the WBTQ calls).[5]
