Tabernacle Baptist Church and its pastor, Joe Shakour, applied for a low power radio station license from the Federal Communications Commission in the fall of 2013 and were awarded a construction permit the following year. The church filed for a license to cover the construction permit on October 14, 2015, and its license was granted on October 19, 2015.

WBIC airs traditional Christian music. Most songs are in the public domain, and many are hymns. Hourly newscasts are from the Salem Radio Network and forecasts are from staff meteorologist Tom Churchill. In addition, WBIC broadcasts all Tabernacle Baptist Church worship services live.
