To date, the 102.1 frequency in Springfield has had two sets of call-letters. WCRX-FM was the first set ...

WCRX(FM) Springfield, MA stood for C)harles R)iver Broadcsting eX)tension formerly owned by (Ted Jones) WCRB Boston.

Ken Jones will tell the story of the times he was running around Springfield setting up Sub Carrier music services for Charles River Broadcasting. He can still point out roof antennas along Main Street that he put up in the late 60's & early 70's. He, of course, went on to be an important part of WACKY's history ....

The WAQY call-letters came from a little AM in Birmingham, Alabama.

1220 WAQY gave up their calls in late 1971/early 1972 ... and the rest, as they say, is history.
