History

Before moving its studios to Greenville, South Carolina, this station was WKIT-FM "Kit Country" in Hendersonville, North Carolina, signing on the air April 15, 1958. Once the new transmitter was complete, the station stunted with the "Beverly Hills Cop" soundtrack. After the stunt, the Adult Contemporary format on the station, known as "MY 102.5", was born.

WMYI enjoyed success shortly after it was born in 1987 with the popular "Love and Hudson" Morning Show. During the mid to late '90s, the station was less successful in Arbitron rankings, but enjoyed a return to the top of the ratings by 2006. In Fall 2006, WMYI was #1 both in age groups 12+ and 25-54 in the Greenville-Spartanburg market, surging past in-house country sister WSSL-FM. However, throughout 2007 and 2008, the station has faltered somewhat, once being beat by competitor WSPA-FM for the first time in a long while (12+). WSPA-FM remains a semi-distant second to WMYI but has begun to gain some ground throughout 2007 and 2008.
