The station is owned by Alpha Media), through licensee Alpha Media Licensee LLC. The studios and offices are on the South side of Savannah and the transmitter is in Rincon.
History
The station went on the air as WMZD on May 10, 2004. On March 9, 2006, the station changed its call sign to WSGA, on March 16, 2006 to WSSJ, and on March 6, 2014 to WXYY.[1] The station switched from a New AC (NAC)/Smooth Jazz format to Gospel music on March 19, 2008, with the name Joy 100.1.
In March 2014, after L & L Broadcasting bought the 50,000-watt station, WXYY moved its call letters and Hot AC format from 107.9 FM, which had a 24,000-watt signal. VP of Programming Scott Mahalick said the change "will bring a great jolt of energy and vibe" to the market. WXYY "Y100" will continue to call its music "90’s, 2K & Today". "The Bert Show" remains in the mornings with Patty Steele doing middays.[2] On September 22, 2014, Program Director Rob Walker rebranded Y100 as "All The Hits", dropping all remaining 80s and most of the 90s music, along with The Bert Show and moved the station to a straightforward CHR position. Over the course of the next year, Y100 shifted to a Rhythmic format, which resulted in Mediabase moving WXYY to the Rhythmic panel in November 2015.[3]
