[edit]

The station was assigned the call sign WQCW on September 19, 1983. On December 31, 1986, the station changed its call sign to WAYX-FM; on November 1, 1987, to WBGA and on October 8, 2002, to the current WYNR.[3]

On May 15, 2014, Qantum Communications announced that it would sell its 29 stations, including WYNR, to Clear Channel Communications (now iHeartMedia), in a transaction connected to Clear Channel's sale of WALK AM-FM in Patchogue, New York to Connoisseur Media via Qantum.[4] The transaction was consummated on September 9, 2014.
