History.
The station originally signed on as WHDL-FM in 1949 and in its early years was affiliated, like most upstate New York FMs of the time, with WQXR-FM in New York City. James F. Hastings, later a U.S.
form of "Handsome Dan" and "Mr. Scream," portrayed by Harry Shearer and Ted McGinley, respectively. (Incidentally, the real WPIG, which had begun broadcasting its current format by this time, and the fictional WPIG Aurora both broadcast on 95.7 MHz, a departure from the usual practice of using nonstandard frequencies for fiction.)
- Sister station WPGI (100.9) in Elmira is modeled after WPIG.
