History

"Gold 104" signed on in 1994 with an oldies format. The original call letters were WUOY. It used a satellite fed network oldies format with a local morning show hosted by Bob Dale. Paul Knight was the Managing Partner and General Manager. Bob Dale was Program Director. When the John Boy & Billy show was signed, the station eventually evolved into a hybrid format called "Rock-Talk 'n Roll" with John Boy & Billy in the morning, The Side Show with Bob Dale mid-days and the syndicated Don & Mike Show out of Washington D.C. in the afternoons.

In May 1996, Community Broadcasting sold WUOY, WMFD and WBMS radio stations to a new company called Ocean Broadcasting. At this time, WUOY changed from 70s rock music to rock from the 60s through the 90s but kept John Boy and Billy.
