01History
After buying WJTP in 1996, Steve Rondinaro's Rondinaro Broadcasting changed that station's Call sign to WECR and started WECR-FM, along with buying WXIT.
In 2003, the stations were sold to Aisling Broadcasting (Jonathon Hoffman, managing member) for $2.2 million.
This added to Aisling's holdings since they had also purchased in September 2003 (from Highland Communications) WATA & WZJS for a price of $2.2 million, and WMMY (from Dale Hendrix) in 2004 for $1.58 million.
Aisling went into receivership, and George Reed of Media Services Group was appointed to manage the stations until a buyer was found. Later in the year, Curtis Media Group purchased the stations.
On February 24, 2013, WECR-FM changed formats from adult contemporary Mix 102.3 to country, simulcasting WMMY 106.1 FM. On February 28, 2014, the station changed callsigns to the current WWMY.
