WBHY-FM (88.5 MHz, "Power 88") is a radio station licensed to Mobile, Alabama and serves Mobile, Alabama and Pensacola, Florida. The station is owned by Goforth Media, Inc. It airs a Contemporary Christian music format.[3]

The station was assigned the WBHY-FM call letters by the Federal Communications Commission on April 15, 1991.[1]

Plans have been in the works since December 2000 to increase power to 100 kW, as soon as the funds are available for the upgrade. The station was finally granted a construction permit for 100 kW in late March 2017. (Taken from Alabama Broadcast Media Page)
