01History
WMYR first signed on the air on November 11, 1952. It spent most of the 1970s and early 1980s as a Top 40 station.
On October 27, 2000, WMYR began airing the Radio Disney children's network. The format was dropped on February 14, 2005. In February 2009, WMYR its simulcast WCNZ changed from Catholic programming to the Scott Shannon's "True Oldies Channel". In the fall of that same year, WMYR/WCNZ changed to the "Timeless Cool" format branded as "The Avenue".
On April 1, 2013, WMYR flipped to classic country, branding itself "Original Classic Country 1410". The web site said it was "The first station to bring Elvis to town, before he was a superstar. We are proud to bring back the great music of Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton and Reba McEntire....along with new classic country artists like Alan Jackson, Toby Keith, Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw".
When WMYR acquired its FM translator, it rebranded itself as "Twang 106.7" to reflect the translator's frequency.
