WSBB-FM (95.5 MHz) is a commercial radio station licensed to Doraville, Georgia, and serving Metro Atlanta. WSBB-FM and co-owned WSB (750 AM) simulcast a news/talk radio format. The stations are owned by the Cox Media Group and are among the highest-billing stations in the U.S.[2] On the air, the two stations are referred to as "95.5 WSB", only occasionally mentioning the FM station's call sign or the AM station's frequency.

The studios and offices are on West Peachtree Street NE in Atlanta, in the WSB-TV and Radio Group Building. WSBB-FM has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 100,000 watts, the maximum for most FM stations. The transmitter is on the WSB-FM broadcast tower in Edgewood, just east of Downtown Atlanta.[3] WSBB-FM broadcasts in the HD Radio hybrid format.
