History

WCCY is the oldest continually operated radio station in the Upper Peninsula, tracing its history back to WHDF in nearby Calumet.[2]

On June 16, 2017, at 3 pm, WCCY changed their format from adult standards to CHR, branded as "99.3 The Lift".[3]

In September 2023, The Marks Group sold its Michigan broadcasting properties—WBKB-TV, WBKP, WBUP, and the Houghton and Iron River radio stations—for $13.375 million to Morgan Murphy Media.[4] The deal was closed on December 4.[5]
