[edit] History

Dropped Soft AC "107-7 Lite FM" for "Smooth Jazz 107.7" on 12/26/06 after playing all-Christmas music since early 11/2006. The last track heard on the "new" Lite FM was Brook Benton's "This Time Of The Year." After a short top-of-the-hour ID at 12:02 a.m., "Smooth Jazz 107.7" was born. The first three tracks were David Benoit's M.W.A. (Musicians With Attitude), Mariah Carey's "We Belong Together" and Fattburger's "Oye Como Va."

Added HD Radio broadcasts in 6/2006. The "Lite FM" simulcast on 92.1/WCDG was dropped on 8/12/05 and was flipped it to 60s-70s Oldies "Cool 92.1." Flipped to Soft AC "Lite FM" on 3/1/2004 at midnight and returned to a simulcast with 92.1 Moyock. Started to carry the John Tesh Show on 3/8/2004. Tesh's first affiliate to do so in the mornings. Was known as New Adult Contemporary / Smooth Jazz "CD 107.7." Previously known as "Vibe 107.7 Hits And Jammin' Old School" until a frequency swap with 105.3 on 6/25/2001. Clear Channel wanted "The Tom Joyner Morning Show" on a 50,000 watt blow-torch to go up against Entercom Urban AC "95-7" R&B WVKL. This station dates back to the late 1980s. It started as religious WXRI on October 20, 1989. On May 1, 1992 started to simulcast with WBSK-AM and changed calls to WBSK-FM a couple of weeks later. A year after that they took the WSVY calls. In March of 1999, had the 'Jammin' Oldies' format that was sweeping the nation at the time.
