History
On May 1, 1947, the station signed on as WSTV-FM. It was originally licensed to Steubenville, Ohio, co-owned with WSTV. The two stations mostly simulcast, although WSTV went dark in 2011.In the 2000s and early-mid 2010s, 103.5 was part of a multi-station simulcast known as "Froggy". Sister stations included the "Froggyland" flagship WOGI "Froggy 104.3", WOGG "Froggy 94.9" and WFGI-FM "Froggy 95.5". The station had Froggy-oriented call signs, WOGE in 2000 and WOGH from 2000 to 2017. The "Froggy" stations carried a country music format.
Willie 103.5
On April 11, 2017, WOGH split from the "Froggy" simulcast and flipped to classic country, branded as "Willie 103.5." On April 17, 2017, WOGH changed its call letters to WLYI, to go with the "Willie 103.5" branding.WLYI had an application with the Federal Communications Commission to move its tower location from Jefferson County, Ohio, to an area near Imperial, Pennsylvania, thus giving it complete coverage within the Pittsburgh metropolitan area. However that application was dismissed by the FCC for failing to provide FAA registration data for the application.
