WDAY-FM (93.7 FM, "Y94") is a radio station broadcasting a Top 40 (CHR) format serving the Fargo-Moorhead metropolitan area. It first began broadcasting in the 1960s. The station is currently owned by James Ingstad's Radio Fargo-Moorhead, Inc.

History

The station signed on in the 1960s as a beautiful music station. On January 1, 1983 the station changed to a Top 40 format, and broadcast commercial-free for the first several months. Its main competitor at the time was (and remains) rock station KQWB-FM 98.7 "Q98". It was owned by Forum Communications, along with WDAY-AM 970 and WDAY-TV 6. For a period in the early 1990s, the station adopted a soft adult contemporary format and was renamed "Mix 93.7". It later reverted to the Y94 name, and was sold to James Ingstad of Fargo in 1996, and sold to Clear Channel in 2000, along with several other radio stations in the area. On September 28, 2006, the Clear Channel station cluster in Fargo (including WDAY-FM) was sold back to James Ingstad, including KDAM which signed on in 2002. The sale was approved by the FCC on January 19, 2007.

On June 1, 2007, the antenna system used for Y94, KFNW-FM, and KRWK "Rock 102" caught fire, leading the stations to temporarily broadcast on auxiliary facilities at a lower power. The stations resumed full power on August 3, 2007.

Y94 also airs American Top 40 and Open House Party, which are syndicated weekend programs.
