==History== Before ESPN, the then-WYUS 930 used to air a [[Spanish language]] [[Contemporary Hit Radio]] music format called "La Exitosa".

WYUS 930 also broadcasts from a translator located in [[Milford, Delaware|Milford]] DE on 102.1 FM with 250 watts.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://radio-locator.com/info/W271CX-FX|title=W271CX-FM 102.1 MHZ - Milford, DE}}</ref>

The station was assigned the WYUS [[call sign]] by the [[Federal Communications Commission]] on September 2, 1982.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/cdbs/pubacc/prod/call_hist.pl?Facility_id=53483&Callsign=WNCL |title=Call Sign History |work=FCC Media Bureau CDBS Public Access Database}}</ref>

In late-October 2019, the station dropped [[ESPN Radio]], and flipped to [[classic hits]] as ''Cool 102.1/930''. The format and branding originated from sister station [[WCHK-FM|WNCL]], which had begun to transition to the [[country music]] format ''The Chicken''. WYUS also adopted the WNCL calls.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://radioinsight.com/headlines/181230/forever-prepping-multiple-changes-in-delmarva/|title=Chicken 101.3 Debuts In Delaware|date=2019-11-01|website=RadioInsight|language=en-US|access-date=2019-11-05}}</ref>
