Came on the air simulcasting
WHHY-AM's top 40 format in the late 60's. In the mid 70's, it switched
to a rock format (that makes up the classic rock format of today) with
the Y-102 slogan and the AM's morning show (Larry Stevens). The station
went back to top 40 in 1980 and remained that way for around 10 years.
At one point the station briefly experimented with a new slogan: Live 101.9.
It didn't last, and the format was changed to country, the calls changed
to WJCC and the moniker became Cat Country 102. In 1999, the station returned
to its top 40 roots, this time with an alternative / urban lean, and brought
back the legendary "Y-102" slogan and the WHHY-FM calls.
