KRRY (100.9 FM, "Y101") is a radio station licensed to serve Canton, Missouri, United States. The station is owned by Townsquare Media.

It broadcasts a Hot AC music format to the greater Quincy, Illinois, and Hannibal, Missouri, area.[2]

History

In January 1989, Lewis and Clark Broadcasting, Inc., reached an agreement to sell KQCA to Bick Broadcasting Company. The deal was approved by the Federal Communications Commission on February 22, 1989, and the transaction was consummated on March 3, 1989.[3]

The new owners requested that the FCC change the station's call letters to KBXB on September 21, 1989.[1] The station changed its callsign to the current KRRY on September 1, 1995.[1]

In May 2006, Bick Broadcasting Company reached an agreement to sell KRRY to Double O Radio.[4] The deal was approved by the FCC on June 30, and the transaction was consummated on August 31.[5][6]

On May 1, 2017, KRRY changed its slogan to "The Tri-States Biggest Variety", as well as updating the station's old logo.[7]
