Format history

For many years, WSPT was a dominant Top-40 station in the Wausau-Stevens Point market. originally an AM-FM Simulcast with its AM sister station at 1010 kHz, becoming FM-only when WSPT-AM became WXYQ in the Fall of 1977, airing a Country Music Format. Through the early 1990s WSPT popularity and ratings was second only to rival Wausau-based WIFC. During the early 90s, the station switched to a Mainstream Adult Contemporary format, branding itself as "Sunny 98". by the mid 90's they changed over to a Modern AC format as "Today's Music Revolution, 98 WSPT". In the 2000s, it segued to Hot AC as "97.9 WSPT" By 2005, it added ABC Radio's syndicated Adult Hits "Jack FM" format, returning to "97.9 WSPT" using Scott Shannon's "True Oldies Channel".
