WNSY-FM
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
WNSY FM, called "Sunny 100" (exact location: 100.1) is a radio station in the north Georgia mountains that plays oldies. First applied for in 1995, it went on the air as WCHK-FM in 1998 (the original WCHK-FM, 105.7 FM, is now WWVA-FM and owned by Clear Channel). In 2004, the station's license was assigned from deceased owner Charles McClure (who also owned WCHK AM and the original WCHK-FM) to wife Dorothy, and to Dean Copelan and SunTrust bank. The license is now assigned to its legal owner, Cherokee Broadcasting.
WNSY has Talking Rock, Georgia as its city of license, with a transmitter near Jasper, Georgia. Both are to the far north-northwest of Atlanta, well beyond even the exurbs of metro Atlanta. Listening range is most of northwest Georgia, not including south or southeast metro Atlanta very well for the most part.
[edit] Trivia
The original WCHK-FM was located at 105.5 FM with a mixed country and gospel format. In 1993, the station was leased to Jacor (which would later merge with Clear Channel), moved to 105.7, and became a simulcast of WGST and took the WGST-FM callsign. In 2000, Clear Channel abandoned the WGST simulcast, and the station became WMXV "Mix 105.7".
In 2003, when then WFOX (now WSRV) abandoned its oldies format, Clear Channel picked up the format, becoming WLCL "Cool 105.7". For the next year, Cherokee Broadcasting was the legal owner of the licenses of two oldies stations in the same area, WNSY and WLCL (although Cherokee Broadcasting only operated WNSY). The 105.7 frequency was sold outright to Clear Channel in 2004, and oldies was abandoned on 105.7 in May 2005.
