station branded as "100.1 The Hero" (HERO being a previous acronym for High Energy Rockin' Oldies). WBRR is also carried on the audio feed of

Little Valley, NY areas.
All staff is shared with WESB.
For most of the 1990s and early 2000s, WBRR was an
oldies/
classic hits outlet known as "Cool 100". In 2007, major changes were made to the morning show (adding Scott Douglas, who was previously the morning host and program director at classic rock
WQRS; Douglas left the station in 2014) and minor changes to the format that people who despise variety love, and now features
classic rock. In August 2008, Igor was tapped to do nights on WBRR. Igor joined after working at 100.7 WMMS and 92.3 WORM Xtreme Radio in Cleveland and Q92 WIMP in Canton, Ohio. The station subsequently moved from eighth place in the market to third, back down to eleventh before finally settling at fifth with the addition of 90's and New Old Rock.
On September 27, 2009, WBRR began airing the Jamestown, New York-based outdoor program "Grizzly Gary's Goin' Fishin' Huntin' Shootin' n Tootin'" on Sunday mornings.

In March 2009 WBRR branded itself as "The Rock Station of the Twin Tiers". With the aforementioned WQRS's shift to
country music and the establishment of full service/classic hits
WGWE in 2010, WBRR has filled a niche as the western Twin Tiers' only rock station.
