WLYI
WLYI (103.5 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a Classic Country format. Licensed to Burgettstown, Pennsylvania, United States, the station serves the Pennsylvania-Ohio-West Virginia tri-state area, including portions of the Pittsburgh metropolitan area. Sister stations include the "Froggyland" flagship WOGI "Froggy 104.3" and WOGG "Froggy 94.9". WLYI had an application to move its tower location from Jefferson County, Ohio to an area near Imperial, Pennsylvania, thus giving it complete coverage within the Pittsburgh metropolitan area. However that application was dismissed by the FCC for failing to provide FAA registration data for the application.[1] The station is currently owned by Forever Media, LLC.[2][3][4]
