WGBF-FM (103.1 FM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Henderson, Kentucky, United States, and serving the Evansville metropolitan area of Indiana and Kentucky. Owned by Townsquare Media, it carries a mainstream rock format, with studios on NW 3rd Street in Evansville.[2]

History
WGBF-FM signed on the air in December 1971. In 1979, the station's call letters were changed to WHKC, calling itself "KC103". By 1984, WHKC broadcast a Top 40 (CHR) format.
The station returned to the WGBF-FM call letters in 1986 and switched to a mainstream rock format, which it still broadcasts today.
Under the ownership of Larry Aiken from 1987 to 1996, WGBF-FM was one of the first stations to broadcast the syndicated Bob & Tom Show outside of their home base of Indianapolis.
