History
WDUN-FM/Wide 107/Lite 106
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.
Y106/Eagle 106.7
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.
