History

The call letters WFNN were originally licensed to a station in Escanaba, Michigan, which first began broadcasting in 1977 under the WFNN call sign. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, WFNN was "Fun 104," an automated Top 40 station. Most programming was separate from its sister station, WDBC, with a few exceptions including simulcasts of Casey Kasem's American Top 40. In 1982, that station switched to its current calls, WYKX.

WMYJ-AM was sister to WMYJ-FM which was started by Bulmer Communications, who also owned radio stations in Ashtabula, Dunkirk, Lima, Ottawa and Logansport. John Bulmer was forced to sell the Erie radio stations due to overlap in signals (during the time one could only own one AM and one FM in the same market). In 1985 he sold both stations to Erie Communications, who also owned radio stations in Sandusky, Cleveland and Johnstown NY.
