History

The station's call letters were WSER when it first signed on in 1963. The station was a starting point for many broadcasting careers, including that of late ESPN personality Tom Mees. Brian Barrabee's First Philadelphia Properties sold the station in late 1999 to a Delaware-based religious group (Faith City Church) and it became a Moody Broadcasting affiliate in February 2000, later simulcasting WXHL-FM's Contemporary Christian music programming. The station changed its call letters to WXHL on February 15, 2002. The station changed its call sign to the current WSRY and became an ESPN/all sports station in 2005, later reverting to simulcasting WXHL-FM in 2009.[2]
