The station first signed on the air on September 16, 1966, as WSLI-FM. The station changed its call letters to WJFR in 1976, with a talk radio format. For a short time from 1982 until 1983, the station became WXLY-FM, running a country format. Retaining the format, the station changed its call letters to WYYN during the year.
