WMVI (106.7
History
The station began broadcasting as WBLZ in 1992, when the FCC granted a license to cover. It was operated from the same building as WPCO in Mount Vernon and broadcast from the same tower site. At various times, the two stations have broadcast the same programming.
WBLZ was purchased from the Posey County Broadcasting Company by The Original Company in May 1999,
WYFX began a local sports program featuring former WYNG personality Dan Egerski in December 2007.
On May 31, 2014, WYFX's contract to carry ESPN Radio expired; the station continued to carry the St. Louis Cardinals, Blues and local sports broadcasts. On June 4, 2014, WYFX changed their format to news/talk.[3]
As of January 2016, WYFX flipped to a simulcast of classic hits-formatted sister station WJPS 107.1 FM.
On December 19, 2016, WYFX dropped its simulcast with WJPS and returned to a sports format, branded as "Fox Sports 106.7", with programming from Fox Sports Radio.[4]
On July 25, 2022, WYFX changed its format from sports to gold-based adult contemporary, branded as "106.7 WMVI".[5] The station changed its call letters to WMVI on September 12, 2022.
