History

WSYD started out playing rock and roll in the mid 1950s. Prior to the most recent change, the station played a mix of contemporary and classic country. The switch to oldies took place on April 6, 2011, after news director Mark Brown asked listeners what music they would like to hear. A poll was conducted, and the listeners voted overwhelmingly for the switch to a "pop oldies" format, dubbed "Granite City Gold."[3]
