History

WLLY-FM launched as WAFC-FM 106.3 in Clewiston, Florida, on July 2, 1979.[1] It was owned by Tri-County Stereo and broadcast a modern country format.

WAFC-FM moved to 99.5 MHz and upgraded to a Class C3 station in 2001. It then moved to Palm Beach Gardens and downgraded back to Class A in 2009, allowing it to enter the West Palm Beach radio market.

HD Radio

On September 6, 2018, WLLY launched a classic hip hop format on its HD3 subchannel, branded as "Yo! 107.1" (simulcast on translator W296AW 107.1 FM Mangonia Park).[2] That translator and the format are owned by Black Media Works, which used the translator to rebroadcast WJFP in Fort Pierce, Florida.
