WYAY-FM

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

WYAY FM ("Eagle 106.7") is an Atlanta FM radio station that plays mainly classic country music, billing itself as Country Legends and the Best of Today (although the most recent titles on the station's playlist are chiefly recurrents). Its city of license is Gainesville, Georgia, northeast of Atlanta, but is a move-in to the metro area. Its omnidirectional antenna shares a tower with fellow Gainesville move-in WSRV FM (97.1), but is about 50 meters (about 165 feet) further down. Its transmitter is located in Flowery Branch, Georgia.

This facility was first listed as WWID"Wide 107" in late 1976, then WWLT"Lite 106" in early 1983, and has been WYAY since mid-1984. WYAY "Lite 106" switched to a country music format under "Y106", a moniker it retained until 2000. From 1989 to 1994 there was also "Y104" on the opposite (southwest) side of metro Atlanta, which simulcast with it (except for advertisements) on WYAI 104.1 (now WALR-FM). In 2000, for some reason that involves WKHX-FM (101.5), the station changed to classic country "Eagle 106.7", but its callsign did not change. Both stations are owned by ABC Radio Atlanta, LLC, a subsidiary of American Broadcasting Company. Overnights on WYAY are satellite-fed from ABC Radio's "Real Country" network.

In late 2005 WYAY changed transmitters to a new tower that they are sharing with 104.7 WFSH which improved south metro coverage for the 106.7 signal.
