[edit] History

The station went on the air as WHWB-FM on September 24, 1990. On April 15, 1991 the station changed its call sign to WYOY. On January 14, 1994, the call sign changed to WJEN.[2] On February 8, 2008, the country format ("Cat Country") and WJEN call sign were moved to 105.3 FM, with 94.5 FM WDVT becoming the simulcast station. After two weeks of simulcasting its former format, WDVT became a classic hits station known as "The Drive."[3] The new format began at 6:00 AM on February 22, 2008. The first song "The Drive" played was Bachman-Turner Overdrive's "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet."
