WLYI

WLYI (103.5 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a Classic Country format. Licensed to Burgettstown, Pennsylvania, United States, the station serves the Pittsburgh metropolitan area. Sister stations include the "Froggyland" flagship WOGI "Froggy 104.3" and WOGG "Froggy 94.9". WLYI had an application to move its tower location from Jefferson County, Ohio to an area near Imperial, Pennsylvania, thus giving it complete coverage within the Pittsburgh metropolitan area. However that application was dismissed by the FCC for failing to provide FAA registration data for the application.[1] The station is currently owned by Forever Media, LLC.[2][3][4]

Format flip

On April 11, 2017 at noon, Forever Media broke the then-WOGH's simulcast of sister WOGI to launch 80s/90s Classic Country “Willie 103.5“.[5] On April 17, 2017, WOGH changed their call letters to WLYI, to go with the "Willie 103.5" branding.[6]
