WYAY is a 77,000-watt Atlanta FM radio station that broadcasts a news/talk format. Its city of license is Gainesville, Georgia, northeast of Atlanta, but the station moved in toward the metro area in early 1985.
WYAY is a class C FM radio station. The WYAY transmitter is located east of Loganville, Georgia and its studios are located in Sandy Springs near the Georgia Highway 400 and Interstate 285 interchange.
WYAY broadcasts in the HD format.
This facility first signed-on in 1949 as WDUN-FM co-owned with WDUN AM. By late 1976, it was WWID "Wide 107", then WWLT "Lite 106" in early 1983, and has been WYAY since mid-1984.
In mid 1984, "Lite 106" switched to a country music format under "Y106", a moniker it retained until 2000. From 1989 to 1994, there was also "Y104" on the opposite (southwest) side of metro Atlanta, which simulcast with it (except for advertisements) on 104.1 FM (now WALR-FM). 104.1 would be sold to Cox Radio in late 1994.
On September 1, 2000, at 3pm, the station changed to a classic country format as "Eagle 106.7". The station still played current music but mainly focused on the classics. The first song on the new "Eagle" was "T-R-O-U-B-L-E" by Travis Tritt.
