WLVY (94.3 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a Top 40 (CHR) format. Licensed to Elmira, New York, United States, the station serves the Elmira-Corning area. The station is currently owned by Tower Broadcasting LLC and features programming from CBS News Radio, United Stations Radio Networks and Westwood One.^[1]

History

The station was signed on by Frank Saia on August 1, 1966, as WEHH-FM, a sister station of WEHH. It was Chemung County's first FM station. The station broadcast mainly easy listening and classical music along with a bit of country in the mornings, "The Ralph Emery Show". In the 1970s, WEHH-FM broadcast Elmira City Council meetings live, with Tony Volino handling the remote duties from the Council Chambers.

In 1976, Saia sold the station to Condit Communications,^[2] then-owner of crosstown rival WELM. Condit changed the call sign to WLVY on March 3, 1976,^[2] and the format changed to AOR. The station first was known as "The New Y94 FM" but then later it was changed into known as "The Love Rock 94 FM", presumably because of the existence of Y94 in relatively nearby Syracuse. Eventually, the station came to be known simply as "The New 94 Rock, WLVY".

In the early to mid-1980s, the station's programming evolved into more of a Top 40/CHR format first with a rock, new wave/modern rock, and heavy metal emphasis first and then with a dash of bubblegum pop, dance, R&B, freestyle, and hip-hop emphasis to the mix.

Since the 1980s, 94 Rock had been consistently among the market leaders in the Arbitron ratings.

On October 3, 2022, Tower Broadcasting, LLC filed paperwork with the FCC to transfer the license of WLVY to the Family Life Network, a large regional Christian radio operator out of nearby Bath.^[3]

On January 2, 2023, it was announced that the station's format would move to WEHH and WELM.^[4]

Translators

WLVY recently^[when?] obtained the frequency 93.7 for Waverly listeners. The 120-watt translator improves the station's signal in "The Valley," which consists of Waverly and South Waverly, Sayre and Athens in Bradford County, Pennsylvania. It can be received in an area roughly bounded by Southport, Van Etten and Owego in New York and Towanda, Pennsylvania.

The station has a 50-watt translator on 93.7 in Corning. It can be received roughly between Big Flats, Lindley, Addison, Campbell and the Schuyler County line in and around the Meads Creek Valley.
