On March 2, 2020, WHNY changed their format from oldies to classic country, simulcasting WHNY-FM 104.7, branded as "Big Henry".[2]

FM translator

In addition to the main station at 1000 kHz, WHNY is relayed by an FM translator to widen its broadcast area and, in this case, allow 24 hours broadcasting of the format. WHNY is a daytime-only station. The FM translator also gives the listener the advantage of FM broadcasting in high fidelity stereo sound.
