History

On June 28, 2019, the then-WOWY began simulcasting on WHUN 1150 AM and WHUN-FM 103.5 Huntingdon and W249DD 97.7 FM Huntingdon and rebranded as "97.1 97.7 103.5 WOWY".[1]

On August 24, 2021, WOWY, WHUN, and WHUN-FM completed their evolution from 60s-70s oldies to 70s-80s classic hits.[2]

On December 30, 2022, it was announced the station would be simulcasted on WAPY within days.[3]

On January 1, 2023, Covenant Communications consummated the purchase of WOWY and four sister stations from Seven Mountains Media for $1 million. On January 3, 2023, WOWY dropped its classic hits format (which moved to WAPY) and began stunting towards a new format.[4] The station changed its call sign to WGJC on January 10, 2023.
