WCHY-FM (known on air as "Charlie FM") is an Adult Hits radio station located in Madison, Wisconsin. The station is owned by Entercom Communications and broadcasts at 105.1 MHz.

The station was known throughout most of the 1990s as country music station WYZM ("The Big Y-105") before becoming WBZU ("105-1 The Buzz") in late 2000, launching a 1980s music format with a 5,000 song marathon without interruptions. Over time, the station started to sprinkle hits from the 70s and 90s into its format, with an eventual emphasis on classic hits from all three decades.

In May 2005, the station became WCHY, "105.1 Charlie FM." The station's format is very similar to Jack FM and Bob FM, in that the station plays mostly 70s, 80s, and 90s popular music, with current and 60s music occasionally played. "Charlie FM" utilizes no DJ's; pre-recorded voiceovers serve as the only continuity element.
