In 2006, Ron Meredith and M&M Broadcasting purchased WXJB, WFXY, and WANO in Middlesboro, KY, Harrogate, TN, and Pineville, KY, and immediately spun off WFXY. WANO changed the call letters to WMYL and branded the station as Merle FM, moving it to Halls Cross Roads, an unincorporated area of north east Knox County, to which it is licensed.

Since moving on to Halls Cross Roads, 96.7 Merle has offered a mix of old and new country.

The station has recently added multiple CMA Personality Of The Year award winners, including the Wilhite & Wall morning show, afternoon talent Jack Ryan, and Knoxville country legend Mike Hammond to the on-air team at 96.7 Merle.

In Spring 2020, the station revised the format to better represent country listeners in East Tennessee today, playing “Your Forgotten Favorites & Only The New Country You Love.”
