History
Prior to Saga's ownership, WIII was owned by Citadel Communications as part of an AM/FM combo with then-WKRT 920 AM (now WYBY) until 2007, when Citadel left the market. Because of market ownership caps, Saga donated WYBY to Bible Broadcasting Network.
I-100 is currently formatted as a classic rock station, primarily using the Dial-Global Classic Rock service. The Bob & Tom Show airs from 6-10 AM Monday - Saturday and the local Working Stiff Show with Kat Walters airs 11 AM – 6 PM. The WIII call letters have been in place since November 1994 - prior to that it was WYYS, WNYP-FM and WOKW.
WIII joined the New York Giants Radio Network in 2012.
