affiliations =WCHY-FM (known on air as "Charlie FM") is an
Adult Hits radio station located inMadison, Wisconsin . The station is owned byEntercom Communications and broadcasts at 105.1 MHz.The station was known throughout most of the 1990s as
country music station WYZM ("The Big Y-105") before becoming WBZU ("105-1 The Buzz") in late 2000, launching a 1980s music format with a 5,000 song marathon without interruptions. Over time, the station started to sprinkle hits from the 70s and 90s into its format, with an eventual emphasis onclassic hits from all three decades.In May 2005, the station became WCHY, "105.1 Charlie FM." The station's format is very similar to
Jack FM andBob FM , in that the station plays mostly 70s, 80s, and 90s popular music, with current and 60s music occasionally played. "Charlie FM" utilizes noDJ 's; pre-recorded voiceovers serve as the only continuity element.In the late '80s and early '90s, the WCHY-FM callsign was at what is now
Clear Channel -owned Urban stationWQBT-FM ("94.1 The Beat - #1 For Hip-Hop & R&B!") inSavannah, Georgia . The callsign was part of the station's identity as a Country station ("WCHY 94.1 Continuous Country"; the station would sometimes refer to itself as "Y-94".), thus the callsign's creation, as at that time it stood for We're Country Hits Y'all.tation logo history
