WXZY-LP (101.7 FM) is a community focused non-profit radio station in Kane, Pennsylvania, licensed by the FCC as a low-power FM (LPFM) and operating as a full-service station with a freeform format. Local coverage includes local events, news, and sports. The station also broadcasts a wide variety of music, with specialty programming every weekend.

History

This station received its original construction permit from the Federal Communications Commission on January 15, 2014. The new station was assigned the WXZY-LP call sign by the FCC on January 29, 2014. The station received its license to cover from the FCC on August 14, 2014.

WXZY-LP marks the return of FCC-licensed radio to Kane after two previous commercial stations no longer broadcast there. AM 960 WQLE (the former WKZA), the first station in Kane, ceased broadcasting in 1992, while what is now WBYB (the former WLMI) moved to another town in the early 2010s. WXZY operates out of WLMI's former studios on Fraley Street in Kane.
