WSYN (Sunny 103.1) is a Oldies/Classic Hits radio station serving the Myrtle Beach radio market. The current format used to be on 106.5 FM on the radio. The previous home for Sunny on 106.5 has is now a new country station to compete with Gator 107.9.
History
WYAK-FM "Big Yak" signed on with a country music format in the 1970s. Later the name was changed to Y-103. An AM frequency was added at 1270, though WYAK-AM became a separate station around 1990, first calling itself WXMB and playing southern gospel music. The station became WYAK-AM again later, the first Myrtle Beach area station to air Rush Limbaugh, and broadcast the FM programming part-time. Later the AM station played R & B oldies as WCKN but signed off.
During the mid-90s WYAK-FM was also heard on WVCO 94.9. The Yak name was used briefly again before the switch to the K-103.1 name used from 2000 to 2008. John Boy and Billy have been heard in the morning for several years; since the April 2008 format change their show has oldies music instead of country[citation needed].
WSYN and WYAK switched frequencies and were reborn as Sunny 103.1 (WSYN) and The Coyote 106.5 (WLFF)[1]. The station airs Scott Shannon's True Oldies Channel mostly, with the exception being the John Boy and Billy show mornings.
