History
WBYR was the former WERT-FM and WKSD in Van Wert, Ohio, owned by Ray Livesay. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, WERT-FM sinulcast its sister AM station. When the FCC gave the ultimatum for Class B FM stations to increase power to maximum levels or be downgraded, WERT-FM increased power to 50,000 watts and introduced a beautiful music format. Once the station was sold to Atlantic Resources, the call letters were changed to WKSD ("Kiss 99") with a satellite delivered adult contemporary format.
In January, 1989, comedy clips, construction sound effects and a vague but brief announcement was heard over and over again for about a week, "9890 songs in a row on Fort Wayne's new 98.9 FM". A classic hits format debuted shortly after. Meanwhile, the WKSD calls resurfaced at 99.7 FM licensed to Paulding, Ohio; WKSD 99.7 FM now features oldies and sports talk as a sister station to WERT/1220.

Dayglow Vista Rd
by: Minus The BearWalking down Dayglow Vista Road
taking a break to read the stones
Sunken graves that seem to say
“We’re not here anymore,”
and it’s like they never been here before
Everybody’s got a shine on
walking down Dayglow Vista Road
Everybody’s got a high on
down by the old path ghosts
You look so sweet
with the sunlight filtered down on you
I’m under your thumb
Don’t want to get stuck
when the storm comes
Everybody’s got a shine on
walking down Dayglow Vista Road
Everybody’s got a high on
down by the old path ghosts
What’s a little bit of rain?
As we walk on it comes on night
and the pathway fades away
Lost in a forest graveyard
and we’re tripping the night away
Everybody’s got a shine on
walking down Dayglow Vista Road
Everybody’s got a high on
walking down Dayglow Vista Road
