Encyclopedia
WCZY-FM is a radio station
located in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan. Playing Adult Hits
music, the station has been on the air since 1989.
On weekday mornings WCZY airs That Show with Matt and Tina.
Formerly an affiliate of Jones Radio Networks' satellite-delivered AC format (now under the Dial Global
) umbrella), WCZY has since transitioned to programming of mainly local origin, and has also dropped its former "Lite Hits" slogan, now IDing as simply "My 104~3". With the change to My 104-3 on April 19, 2011, the station added more '70s and '80s classic hits
to its music mix, and is now more of an adult hits
station than its former adult contemporary sound.
WCZY has been closely associated with Clare Summerfest, the Farwell Lumberjack festival, the Farwell Labor Day Festival, the Alma Highland Festival, the Shepherd Maple Syrup Festival and a host of other local community events in Isabella, Gratiot and Clare counties, often broadcasting from those locations.
