WLVY (94.3 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a contemporary hit radio format. Licensed to Elmira, New York, USA, the station serves the Elmira-Corning area. The station is currently owned by Pembrook Pines Elmira, Ltd. and features programming from CBS Radio and Westwood One.^[1]

The station signed on by Frank Saia in 1964 as WEHH-FM, a sister station of WEHH. It was Chemung County's first FM station. The station broadcast mainly easy listening and classical music along with a bit of country in the mornings, "The Ralph Emery Show". In the 1970s, WEHH-FM broadcast Elmira City Council meetings live, with Tony Volino handling the remote duties from the Council Chambers.

In the mid-1970s, Saia sold the station to crosstown rival WELM. The format was changed to rock and call letters were changed to the current WLVY. The station first was known as Y-94, but later was changed to the "Love Rock," presumably because of the existence of Y-94 in relatively nearby Syracuse. Eventually, the station came to be known simply as 94-Rock. It used a paint-splotch logo that was remarkably similar to one used by 97-Rock in Buffalo.

In the early to mid-1980s, the station's programming evolved into more of a Top 40-oriented format, first with a rock emphasis, then with a more pop and urban emphasis. Since the 1980s, 94 Rock has since been consistently among the market leaders in the Arbitron ratings.
