Troy Community Radio began initially as awebcaster in September 2012 by Scott Hornberger in the spare bedroom of his home. It briefly broadcast as amicropower radio service at 94.1 in the latter part of 2012 before a new "filing window" (the second of its kind) was announced by theFederal Communications Commission (FCC) to allow applications for newlow power FM stations. The window was opened in the fall of 2013 and the owner promptly applied for a low-power FM license. The application and license was granted on February 13, 2014 with the callsign WTJW-LP.

It is nowWYDA an affiliate of EMF-owned sister networkAir 1.
On March 6, 2014, the callsign changed from WTJW-LP toWTJN-LP to better coincide with the callsign meaningTroJaN, a reference to theTroy High School Trojans athletic teams and the local residents who proudly call themselves "Trojans."
