WRSY airs an adult album alternative radio format, via a simulcast of 93.9 WRSI in Turners Falls, Massachusetts. WRSY is heard in Southeastern Vermont and Southwestern New Hampshire.

History

When it was being built, the station first took its call sign WAIG on May 20, 1994, and changed to WSSH on March 1, 1996. It officially launched in July 1996, airing a soft adult contemporary format, simulcast with 95.3 WZSH in Hartford, Vermont (now WZLF).[4]

Vox purchased the stations from Dynacom in 1999.[5] Vox switched WSSH to the WRSI simulcast on February 1, 2001.[6] The station was granted the WRSY call sign on April 12.[2] Saga acquired WRSI and WRSY in 2003.[7]
