WXYY (100.1FM), known asG100.1, is aradio station broadcasting arhythmic contemporaryformat. Licensed toRincon, Georgia, US, the station serves theSavannah andHilton Head areas. The station is owned by Dick Broadcasting, through licensee Dick Broadcasting Company, Inc. of Tennessee. The studios and offices are on the south side of Savannah and the transmitter is in Rincon.
The station went on the air as WMZD on May 10, 2004. On March 9, 2006, the station changed its call sign to WSGA, on March 16, 2006, to WSSJ, and on March 6, 2014, to WXYY.[2] The station switched from aNew AC (NAC)/Smooth Jazz format toGospel music on March 19, 2008, with the name "Joy 100.1."
In March 2014, after L & L Broadcasting bought the 50,000-watt station, WXYY moved its call sign andHot AC format from 107.9 FM, which had a 24,000-watt signal. VP of Programming Scott Mahalick said the change "will bring a great jolt of energy and vibe" to the market. WXYY "Y100" continued to call its music "90's, 2K & Today". "The Bert Show" remained in the mornings with Patty Steele doing middays."[3] On September 22, 2014, Program Director Rob Walker rebranded Y100 as "All The Hits", dropping all remaining 80s and most of the 90s music, along with The Bert Show and moved the station to a straightforward CHR position. Over the course of the next year, Y100 shifted to arhythmic format, which resulted inMediabase moving WXYY to the Rhythmic panel in November 2015.[4]
On July 22, 2016, WXYY beganstunting with a loop of "Nuthin' but a 'G' Thang" byDr. Dre andSnoop Dogg, while running liners advising listeners to tune in at 5pm, at which time, WXYY flipped toclassic hip hop as "G100".[5]
In September 2017, Dick Broadcasting announced that it would acquireAlpha Media's clusters in Savannah, Kinston/New Bern/Jacksonville, and Myrtle Beach. Under the terms of the sale, however, a formal sale filing would not be made for the Savannah stations until August 2019, with Dick operating these stations under alocal marketing agreement in the meantime.[6] The sale, at a price of $5,000,000, was consummated on December 1, 2022,
On February 6, 2023, WXYY changed its format from classic hip hop to rhythmic contemporary, still branded as "G100.1".[7]
