[edit] History

WYNG acquired the 94.9 frequency in 2003 when the Regent Broadcasting changed frequencies and adopted a Country format. After stations WBKR and WKDQ were acquired from Clear Channel Communications by Regent Broadcasting,[2] Regent decided to change WYNG's programming to an all Sports format - primarily using ESPN Radio syndicated programming.

On August 25th 2006, Regent sold WYNG to Withers Broadcasting Group, a Mount Vernon, Illinois company that operates radio stations in several states, including Kentucky and Missouri. [3]

ESPN's format was dropped as of January 1st 2007 and the ESPN affiliation moved to WYFX-FM 106.7. Long time WGBF-AM/WYNG sportscaster Dan Egierski is now Vice President of Evansville Sports Programming Inc., which is active in sales for WYFX. [4]

[edit] Non-Music Operations

WYNG has an extensive news department providing news at the top of the hour between 6 A.M. and 6 P.M.[5] However, most of the updates are not live. The transcript of the report is posted on their website daily. WYNG is a part of the St Louis Cardinals radio network.[6]
