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, [ [http://sec.edgar-online.com/2002/09/11/0000950152-02-006938/Section5.asp REGENT COMMUNICATIONS INC - RGCI Unscheduled Material Events (8-K) EXHIBIT 99.01 ] ] 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.

ESPN's format was dropped as of January 1 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.
