WIYN (94.7 MHz) is a commercial FM radio station licensed to Deposit, New York, and serving the Binghamton metropolitan area. The station is presently silent; it last simulcast a classic rock radio format with WDHI (100.3 FM]) in Delhi. The stations are owned by Townsquare Media.[2]

History

[edit]

In September 2022, WIYN and WDHI shifted from classic hits to classic rock as "100.3 & 94.7 The Eagle".[3] The stations carried the syndicated show The Free Beer and Hot Wings Show, based at sister WGRD-FM in Grand Rapids, Michigan, in morning drive time.

On December 31, 2023, WIYN and WDHI ceased operations.[4] In May 2024, Townsquare Media sold the stations, along with WTBD-FM (which had shut down at the same time) to the Family Life Network.[5]
