History
[edit]WCYN went on-the-air in September 1956 by the Anderson family. The station would be simulcast on a full-power FM radio station, the now-defunct WCYN-FM (102.3) by the 1970s. At the time, the station aired country music as well as some news and talk.[6]
In 2012, WCYN was airing a country music format. That year, it became an affiliate of ABC News Now.[7]
Programming
[edit]WCYN primarily broadcasts a classic hits format, interspersed with other local and regional programming. This includes local morning show Coffee Break at 8:00 a.m., as well as the syndicated Kentucky Sports Network from Lexington's WLAP (630 AM).
WCYN presently airs news programming from the national Fox News Radio and statewide Kentucky News Network.[1] The station also serves as an affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds Radio Network.[2]
