History
editBefore ESPN, the then-WYUS 930 used to air a Spanish language Contemporary Hit Radio music format called "La Exitosa".
WYUS 930 also broadcasts from a translator located in Milford DE on 102.1 FM with 250 watts.[3]
The station was assigned the WYUS call sign by the Federal Communications Commission on September 2, 1982.[4]
In late-October 2019, the station dropped ESPN Radio, and flipped to classic hits as Cool 102.1/930. The format and branding originated from sister station WNCL, which had begun to transition to the country music format The Chicken. WYUS also adopted the WNCL calls.[5]
