History
The station officially began broadcasting on March 1, 1985. Its call letters were chosen as a phonetic representation of its city of license: W-H-u-R-l-Y. Since its inception, the station has served the Iron County region in Wisconsin and the adjacent Gogebic County in Michigan. WHRY is owned and operated by Baroka Broadcasting, Inc., a family-owned media company led by Jesse Baroka. Jesse Baroka began his career at the station as an employee in high school and fulfilled a long-time dream by acquiring the station and its sister station, WUPM (FM), in 2016. The station currently broadcasts an Oldies format, branded as "Oldies 102.9" (referring to its FM translator frequency). The playlist features hits from the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, with programming often featuring content from Cumulus Media.
