History

Bryan Broadcasting Corporation received a construction permit from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to build a Class A radio station in Buffalo on June 21, 2012. The station received its license to cover on June 17, 2015, and signed on the air. It chose the call sign shared with its sister station WTAW, becoming WTAW-FM. While most stations in Texas have call letters beginning with a "K," the WTAW call sign dates back to the early 1920s, when Texas radio stations were assigned "W" call letters.

WTAW-FM uses the moniker Willy 103.5 to identify with country music legend Willie Nelson and other stars of his era. The station plays classic country hits, including Nelson's biggest sellers. In addition to the regular programming, "Willy 103.5" also features Bisons boys and girls varsity sports from Buffalo High School.
