WYEZ, known as "Movin' 94.5", is a rhythmic oldies radio station in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The station is owned by Fidelity Broadcasting and is licensed to Murrells Inlet, South Carolina.

History

In 2000, WRNN-FM "Hot Talk 94.5", a 6000-Watt station, traded frequencies with WMYB "Star 99.5", a 25,000-Watt station, for a few weeks. WMYB soon moved to 92.1, leaving the frequency vacant. WEZV needed better coverage of the south end of the market, so a simulcast began. The simulcast ended on July 26, 2007 when WYEZ switched to a soft AC format as "Yes 94.5". [Steve Palisin, "Bob Gets Sibling ... Station, That Is," "The Sun News", July 27, 2007.] On March 17, 2008 the format was tweaked to a Mainstream AC format. Fact|date=September 2008 The switch to the current format took place on September 2, 2008 [Steve Palisin, "Radio Format and Station Changes in Progress," "The Sun News", September 7, 2008.] . While the station is consulted by Alan Burns and uses the "Movin" name, it is not a rhythmic adult contemporary, to which the Movin' name usually refers, even though they are the second Rhythmic Oldies station that uses the slogan, the first being KMVN/Los Angeles, California.
