Programming with local inserts comes from WLGH in Lansing.

WHYT was granted Construction Permit on March 24, 2009, to increase power up to 12.5 kW.

Call Letters

The WHYT call letter was first used at the small AM market station in Noblesville, Indiana (now silent and dead), then used for years by 96.3 Detroit (now WDVD) and is also used by what is now WHLX in Marine City after 96.3 FM stop call. The WTAC call letter was used by AM 600 in Flint when it was a large 40 popular station during the 1960s and 1970s, and then through contemporary Christian states and formats. The station is now WSNL. WCZE is based on the first three letters of the owner's last name.
