History
Delaware County Broadcasting, owner of WDLA and WDLA-FM in Walton, New York, was granted a construction permit for a new station on 94.7 in Deposit on July 27, 1989. The station, which took the call sign WIYN, signed on with a soft adult contemporary format on January 16, 1991.Delaware County Broadcasting sold its stations—WIYN, the WDLA stations, and WDHI in Delhi—to BanJo Communications, owner of stations in nearby Norwich and Oneonta, for $865,000 in 2000. In January 2001, BanJo began simulcasting an oldies format on WIYN and WDHI. BanJo sold its stations to Double O Radio for $9.75 million in 2004.
Double O sold 26 radio stations, including WIYN and WDHI, to Townsquare Media in 2011. In early 2019, Townsquare closed the stations' studios in Walton, which were shared with the WDLA stations and WTBD-FM; operations were moved to the company's Oneonta facility. In September 2022, WIYN and WDHI shifted from classic hits to classic rock as "100.3 & 94.7 The Eagle". The stations carried the syndicated show The Free Beer and Hot Wings Show, based at then-sister WGRD-FM in Grand Rapids, Michigan, in morning drive time.
On December 31, 2023, WIYN and WDHI ceased operations. In May 2024, Townsquare Media sold the stations, along with WTBD-FM to the Family Life Network. WIYN returned to the air October 8, 2024, and changed its call sign to WCEB on December 6.
