History

WYAK-FM "Big Yak" signed on with a country music format in the 1970s. Later the name was changed to Y-103. An AM frequency was added at 1270, though WYAK-AM became a separate station around 1990, first calling itself WXMB and playing southern gospel music. The station became WYAK-AM again later, the first Myrtle Beach area station to air Rush Limbaugh, and broadcast the FM programming part-time. Later the AM station played R & B oldies as WCKN but signed off.

During the mid-90s WYAK-FM was also heard on WVCO 94.9. The Yak name was used briefly again before the switch to the K-103.1 name used from 2000 to 2008. John Boy and Billy have been heard in the morning for several years; since the April 2008 format change their show has oldies music instead of countryFact|date=September 2008.

WSYN and WYAK switched frequencies and were reborn as Sunny 103.1 (WSYN) and The Coyote 106.5 (WLFF) [Steve Palisin, "Radio Format and Station Changes in Progress," "The Sun News", September 7, 2008.] . The station airs Scott Shannon's True Oldies Channel mostly, with the exception being the John Boy and Billy show mornings.
