The station originated in 1970, with
call letters WQIX, with a modern country format. Studios were in Horseheads, shared with sister AM
WIQT, and transmitter on Prospect Hill north of the village. Construction was by Chief Engineer C Michael Scullin with John Mulligan. It was owned then by retailer Manny Panosian and John Arikian, dba Chemung County Radio. Program Director was David G. Ridenour and General Manager Bob Johnson. During the first part of the 21st century, WPGI shared the "Big Pig" branding with sister station
WPIG in
Olean, New York, both stations being owned by
Backyard Broadcasting. Along with the rest of Backyard Broadcasting's New York assets, the station was sold to
Community Broadcasters, LLC effective August 26, 2013, at a price of $3.6 million. On October 1, 2013, the then-WPGI dropped its cross-branding with WPIG, as well as all of the station's jocks, and took on the brand "100.9 The Wolf" with the same format. WPGI, along with the other stations in Community Broadcasters' Southern Tier portfolio, was sold to Seven Mountains Media in January 2019. On July 3, 2020, WPGI flipped to
classic rock as "101 The Met", as part of a five-station format swap, where WMTT moved from
94.7 to
820/101.3, with 100.9 starting to simulcast the new WMTT. WPGI had changed its call letters to WMTT-FM on June 25, 2020, to reflect this change. WPGI's former country format moved to 94.7 (renamed WQBF),
WCBF (96.1), and
WOBF (97.1) as "95-96-97 Bigfoot Country". On June 15, 2021, WMTT-FM changed its format from classic rock (which moved back to 94.7, as well as
WENI-FM 92.7) to Family Life Network's religious format under new WCID calls. Formerly at 100.9 FM licensed to
Horseheads, New York which served
Elmira-
Corning area, WCID moved to its current 101.1 FM frequency around 2022 in its new city of license at
Enfield, NY located near
Ithaca. ==References==
