WHYB (103.7 FM, "The Wave") is a radio station licensed to Menominee, Michigan broadcasting an adult contemporary format.
The station began broadcasting in 1984 as WCJL-FM at 106.3 MHz and aired a CHR format under the name "Hits 106." CJL Broadcasting owners Jim Callow and Leon Felch can be credited with bringing live, on-air personalities to the HITS 106 airwaves, which was something new in the Marinette-Menominee area at that time. Air personalities included Kevin Lyons-Tarr, Trigg "The Ugly Man" Turner, Linda Engels, Jeff Quinn, Pamela J, and Kit Donaldson.
In 1992 the station moved to the current 103.7 frequency and adopted its current calls and a country format. This continued until January 2008, when the "Cat Country" format moved to sister station 95.1 FM WLST and WLST's "Wave" AC format moved to WHYB. [2]
