WBBG is a commercial FM radio station in Youngstown, Ohio market broadcasting at 106.1 MHz with an oldies format. The station is licensed to Niles, Ohio.

The station first signed on the air as WNCD, licensed on October 29, 1987. It changed to WBBG on October 30, 2000.

The WBBG call letters were previously used on a Cleveland AM station (at 1260-AM) from 1978 until 1987. WBBG was also the commonly used name for the World Body Building Guild started in 1965 by Dan Lurie as a way to enhance public awareness and garner respect for a sport that was, at the time, considered an oddity. Along the way, Lurie also published several health and fitness related magazines, the most popular of these being Muscle Training Illustrated.

WBBG is also the Washington Bed & Breakfast Guild.

The Washington State Bed and Breakfast Guild (WBBG) was formed by 50 charter members in 1986. This group's concept for the Guild was to provide an information network throughout the state for member B&B's as well as developing a strong voice for the industry with state regulatory and tourism agencies.

The WBBG is a voluntary association of bed and breakfast owners representing Washington State inns which meet high standards of cleanliness and hospitality. All members are independently inspected and approved. Through cooperative efforts, these inns work closely with all state and local governmental agencies to promote tourism and to assure high standards of safety and service within the bed and breakfast industry. The Guild acts as a public resource for state and local regulatory agencies governing the growing B&B industry.

The Guild has developed into an organization that actively promotes high standards for the bed and breakfast industry and tourism as a whole.
