WHIY (1600 AM) is an Party Blues and Oldies music formatted radio station that serves Huntsville, Alabama, and the majority of the Tennessee Valley in north Alabama, United States.
The WHIY call letters were on the 1190 AM signal until a 2006 re-alignment with co-owned WEUV (originally 1700 AM) and WEUP (originally 1600 AM). The station returned to the air in December 2007.
Ownership
In 1987, the married couple of Hundley Batts, Sr. and Dr. Virginia Caples assumed the ownership and operation of WEUP. They also acquired another station, WEUZ-FM (92.1 FM), licensed to Minor Hill, Tennessee, and brought WEUP onto the FM broadcast airwaves. They operated WEUP & WEUZ-FM under the parent company name of Broadcast One. They continued to expand the station's audience by acquiring WHIY (1190 AM) and WEUP-FM (103.1), both licensed to Moulton, Alabama, in 1989. WEUV (1700 AM) was later added to the group of stations that are part of the WEUP broadcast family.
