History
The station was founded in 2001.
On May 28, 2020, Flinn Broadcasting Corporation announced that it would sell WBIH, along with sister stations KCWV in Duluth, Minnesota, WWJX in Jackson, Mississippi, and WFBD in Destin, Florida, to Marion, Illinois–based Tri-State Christian Television for an undisclosed price. The sale was completed on September 15; the stations became owned-and-operated stations of the TCT network two days later, with WBIH becoming the second religious television station in the Montgomery area. (Religious programming was first offered by WMCF-TV when that station switched to the Trinity Broadcasting Network in 1986.)
