== History ==
WYNG acquired the 94.9 frequency in 2003 when the [[Townsquare Media|Regent Broadcasting]] changed frequencies and adopted a Country format. After stations WBKR and WKDQ were acquired from [[iHeartMedia|Clear Channel Communications]] by Regent Broadcasting,<ref name="REGENT-COMMUNICATIONS-INC-Sep-2002-8-K">[{{cite web|url=http://sec.edgar-online.secdatabase.com/2002705/09/1195015202006938/0000950152filing-02-006938/Section5main.asphtm |title=REGENT COMMUNICATIONS INC, - RGCI Unscheduled Material EventsForm (8-K), Current Report, EXHIBIT 99.01<!--, BotFiling generatedDate titleSep 11, 2002 |publisher=secdatabase.com |access-->]date =May 15, 2018}}</ref> Regent decided to change WYNG's programming to an all Sports format -– primarily using [[ESPN Radio]] syndicated programming.
 
On August 25, 2006, Regent sold WYNG to [[Withers Broadcasting Companies]], a [[Mount Vernon, Illinois]] company that operates multiple radio/television stations in several states, including Kentucky, West Virginia, and Missouri.<ref>[http://www.courierpress.com/news/2006/aug/26/local-radio-station-sold/ Local radio station sold : Local : Evansville Courier Press<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
 
ESPN's format was dropped as of January 1, 2007 and the ESPN affiliation moved to [[WYFX-WMVI (FM)|WYFX]] 106.7. Long time [[WGBF (AM)|WGBF]]/WYNG sportscaster Dan Egierski is now Vice President of Evansville Sports Programming Inc., which is active in sales for WYFX.<ref>[http://www.courierpress.com/news/2006/dec/30/espn-radio-changes-dials-on-monday/ ESPN radio changes dials on Monday : Local Sports : Evansville Courier Press<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
