History
Until July 23, 2007, WLOY had been silent since its sale to Three Rivers Media from Ora Robert Smallwood on October 17, 2006.
On September 17, 2008, WLOY switched from Contemporary Christian to talk, dropping its affiliation with Salem's "Today's Christian Music" Network. In late August 2013, WLOY dropped its talk format for adult standards, branding as "Great American Music, Virginia Style, Loyal 660". The last part of the tagline changed to "Loyal 93.3" in 2020 when the station added a translator which covers most of the same area as the AM signal and provides 24-hour service.
