History

Before ESPN, the then-WYUS 930 used to air a Spanish language Contemporary Hit Radio music format called "La Exitosa".

WYUS 930 also broadcasts from a translator located in Milford DE on 102.1 FM with 250 watts. [3]

The station was assigned the WYUS call sign by the Federal Communications Commission on September 2, 1982. [4]

In late-October 2019, the station dropped ESPN Radio, and flipped to classic hits as Cool 102.1/930. The format and branding originated from sister station WNCL, which had begun to transition to the country music format The Chicken. WYUS also adopted the WNCL calls. [5]
