History

In September 2022, WIYN and WDHI shifted from classic hits to classic rock as "100.3 & 94.7 The Eagle".[2] The stations carried the syndicated show The Free Beer and Hot Wings Show, based at sister WGRD-FM in Grand Rapids, Michigan, in morning drive time.

On December 31, 2023, WIYN and WDHI ceased operations.[3] In May 2024, Townsquare Media sold the stations, along with WTBD-FM (which had shut down at the same time) to the Family Life Network.[4]
