Norbertine Fathers

In 1898 St. Joseph's church at De Pere was transferred to the Norbertine Fathers.

In 1960 the Norbertine Fathers purchased the current site from Jack Cook, the founder of nearby Cook's Corner.

The station continues to air a Sunday Mass on Sunday mornings, as it has since signing on under the ownership of the Norbertine Fathers.

The concerts also will include appearances by the Norbertine Fathers from St. Michael’s Abbey and organ soloist Paul Jacobs.

It is owned and operated by the Norbertine Fathers of St. Michael's Abbey, who established it in 1961 as St. Michael's Junior Seminary and Novitiate.

In the mid-1970s, the Norbertine Fathers sold their broadcast properties including WBAY, WBAY-FM (now WIXX), WHBY and WBAY-TV.

The Norbertine Fathers of St. Norbert College in De Pere, then-owners of WHBY, bought the station in 1940, changed its city of license to Green Bay, and moved its frequency to 1360, where it remains today.

Though there is no record of the Press-Gazette ever broadcasting on this station, they eventually decided to sell the station to the Norbertine Fathers, who had more money and were also interested in complimenting their stations WBAY AM at 1360 and WBAY-TV on Channel 2.
