History

On June 28, 2019 WOWY began simulcasting on WHUN 1150 AM and WHUN-FM 103.5 Huntingdon and W249DD 97.7 FM Huntingdon and rebranded as "97.1 97.7 103.5 WOWY".[1]

On August 24, 2021 WOWY, WHUN, and WHUN-FM completed their evolution from 60s-70s oldies to 70s-80s classic hits.[2]

On December 30, 2022 it was announced the station would be simulcasted on WAPY within days.[3]

On January 3, 2023 WOWY dropped its classic hits format (which moved to WAPY) and began stunting towards a new format.[4]
