WFSR (970
An earlier WFSR in New York
Previously, the call letters had been those of a radio station in Bath, New York, WFSR (1380 AM), for the first 12 years of its existence after it began broadcasting on November 17, 1962, with the call letters WFSR as a 500 watt "daytimer" (a station that broadcast from 6:00 AM until sunset) until 1973. It was known as "Friendly Steuben Radio" (the village of Bath being located in Steuben County, New York) and the format was Country Western / Talk. In 1974, the station changed its call letters to WGHT when the station was sold to Walter Taylor, who applied for the call sign in memory of his grandfather, Greyton H. Taylor. After the station began simulcasting with its sister station WEKT-FM of Hammondsport, the former WFSR/WGHT became WVIN-FM in 1975, while WEKT-FM became WVIN-FM. By 1987, the license city for WVIN-FM had been changed to Bath, New York.
