History

[edit]

WRYT went on the air November 9, 1987,^[2] but while the station promoted itself as WRYT in local media, itscall sign was legally WHRC (standing for original owners Horizon Radio Corporation) until February 4, 1988, when it exchanged call letters withTV channel 46 in Norwell, Massachusetts, which founder Bob Howe also owned. As a commercial station, WRYT broadcastadult standards music and news programming aimed at listeners in Edwardsville andMadison County, Illinois.

The station was sold in 1992 to the Hometown Broadcasting Company, owned by Tom Lauher, ofCreve Coeur, Missouri. Five years later, he sold the station to Covenant founder Tony Holman, whom he found "more serious and interested and less on a fishing expedition".^[3]Covenant Network began operating WRYT, its first station on May 1, 1997.
