New FM booster station, WVYS-FM2, Towanda, Pennsylvania, signed on with 1,200 watts of ERP covering the greater Towanda area on July 31, 2010.

On July 9, 2018, WVYS (and its translator and booster) split from its simulcast with WDYS and switched to a simulcast of country formatted WNBT-FM 104.5 Wellsboro, branded as "Bigfoot Country" under new WZBF calls.[4] The split came following the sale of the three licenses to WNBT-FM owner Seven Mountains Media effective June 29, 2018.

In February 2023 WGMF-FM rebranded as "Gem 99 & 100".[5]
