WXRY-LP is a LPFM radio station, broadcasting at 99.3 FM. The station is owned by Gamecock Alumni Broadcasters, a nonprofit organization. The format is officially Adult Album Alternative, although it leans more toward Alternative Rock.
[edit] Station History
The station started test authority on its new LPFM signal in 2004 with a loop of Dance-oriented songs and the brief on-air moniker "Yes 99" (a tribute to Columbia's former Dance-oriented CHR "Yes 97" (WYYS), now known as WLTY). When testing was complete in late 2004, the station stunted for a few hours with a brief snippet of "Revolution 9" from The Beatles's "White Album". The Adult Album Alternative format was unveiled at the end of the stunt.
It should be noted that the WXRY call letters was already used once before in the Columbia radio market. The 93.5 frequency (now known as WARQ) had originally signed on as WXRY in 1971.
