For a short time from 1982 until 1983, the station became WXLY-FM, running a country MOR format. Retaining the format, the station changed its call letters to WYYN during the year. Its format lasted until 1986 when it dropped country for adult contemporary as "Class-FM". The station also began simulcasting WSLI. In 1990, its call letters changed to WJDX retaining the AC format, and for a short time in 1998, its call letters changed to WKXS.
