History

The 100.7 frequency was home to WQXY with an Easy listening format in the 1970s and to Adult Contemporary from 1984 to 1988. In 1988 it flipped to Active Rock as "100.7 The Tiger" and by 1995 shifted to Modern Rock. But that would all change by 1996 when it flipped to Country as WXCT, "Cat Country 100.7". They later reimaged themselves as "Tiger Country 100.7" as WTGE and in February of 2002 they tweaked their playlist and became "Y-100" using call letters WYPY. In 2005 they dropped the "Y" and became "New Country".
