WLVY (94.3 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a contemporary hit radio format. Licensed to Elmira, New York, USA, the station serves the Elmira-Corning area. The station is currently owned by Pembrook Pines Elmira, Ltd. and features programming from CBS Radio and Westwood One.
The station signed on by Frank Saia in 1964 as WEHH-FM, a sister station of WEHH. It was Chemung County's first FM station. The station broadcast mainly easy listening and classical music along with a bit of country in the mornings, "The Ralph Emery Show". In the 1970s, WEHH-FM broadcast Elmira City Council meetings live, with Tony Volino handling the remote duties from the Council Chambers.
In the mid-1970s, Saia sold the station to crosstown rival WELM. The format was changed to rock and call letters were changed to the current WLVY. The station first was known as Y-94, but later was changed to the "Love Rock," presumably because of the existence of Y-94 in relatively nearby Syracuse. Eventually, the station came to be known simply as 94-Rock. It used a paint-splotch logo that was remarkably similar to one used by 97-Rock in Buffalo.
Verse 1:
A thought in my head, I think
Of something to do
Expressions tell everything
I see one on you
Chorus:
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, my love she comes in colors
You can tell her from the clothes she wears
Verse 2:
When I was invisible
I needed no light
You saw right through me, you said
Was I out of sight?
[repeat chorus]

Verse 3:
When I was in England town
The rain fell right down
I looked for you everywhere
'Til I'm not around
[repeat chorus]
