Totally Gospel began as a 4 hour brokered black gospel radio program on October 13, 1991 hosted and produced by John H. Young, Sr. The program originally aired on WHLD-AM 1270 under the ownership of Butler Communications. The program which consisted of Black Gospel Music and local ministries expanded to a daily format in 1992 and added an afternoon drivetime spin-off called "Drivetime Gospel". In 1996, the programming expanded and eventually moved all of its programming to AM daytimer WHTT-AM 1120 (now WBBF-AM) in September 1996. As the format continually gained popularity, John Young brokered the entire radio station to create Western New York's first and only fulltime Black Gospel radio station dubbed "Heaven 1120"
