WYGC is a 1980s' music radio station broadcasting from Gainesville, Florida as "Y105" under the ownership of JVC Media, LLC, through licensee JVC Media of Florida, LLC. It previously broadcast a classic hits format as "104.9 WOW FM" until August 3, 2016, a country music format (simulcasting WTRS 102.3 FM Dunnellon, Florida until February 10, 2014) and before that, a sports format as "105 The Game" until May 31, 2013.[1]

On May 23, 2016, at 6 a.m., WOW FM moved over to sister station WXJZ, which broadcasts a more powerful signal. On August 4, 2016, at midnight, WYGC ended its simulcast of WOW FM with WXJZ by flipping to a news talk format branded as "104.9 - The Talk of Gainesville".

In 2017, WYGC flipped to a simulcast of WMFQ "Q92.9" in Ocala after a long period of dead air.

On Monday, March 19, 2018, the all-new Y105 was supposed to launch with an all-'80s format which was originally heard on Z103.3, WGVR-LP which is now playing the feed from Scott Shannon's True Oldies Channel. However, as of Monday, April 16, 2018, WYGC still airs a simulcast of WMFQ. As of Monday May 21 at noon the station is no longer simulcasting WMFQ and is now the all-new Y105.
