WRWN

The station signed on the air in {{Start date and age|1988|2}}.[https://www.worldradiohistory.com/Archive-BC-YB/1992/Radio-All-BC-YB-1992-B&W.pdf Broadcasting & Cable Yearbook 1992 page. Retrieved Dec. 26, 2024] The original call sign was WLOW. It broadcast on 107.1 FM and played big bands, one of the few FM stations to play this style of music.

For much of 1994, the station became WHHR-FM, airing a talk radio format as "The News and Conversation Station". Listeners asked for the return of the nostalgia format, which had found a home on 99.7 FM. WLOW began playing big bands again in December, 1994.

In 1995, Adventure Radio purchased it and upgraded it to a Class C1 station. WLOW traded frequencies with WIJY at 107.9. Over the years, the music evolved into adult standards with some smooth jazz at night. The standards format continued through late 2005 as "WLOW 107.9 - Good Times, Great Memories" until October 2005. It switched to all-Christmas music during the 2005 holiday season.{{cite web|url=http://www.allaccess.com/net-news/archive/story/2323/wlow-switches-to-christmas-107-9|title=WLOW Switches To Christmas 107.9|publisher=allaccess.com|date=2005-10-31|access-date=2011-05-04|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120917001952/http://www.allaccess.com/net-news/archive/story/2323/wlow-switches-to-christmas-107-9|archive-date=2012-09-17}}{{cite web|url=http://www.triadbroadcasting.com/newsletters/TriadFall05-Final.pdf|title=Hilton Head/Savannah|publisher=The Triad Frequency|date=Fall 2005|access-date=2011-05-04|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110724053149/http://www.triadbroadcasting.com/newsletters/TriadFall05-Final.pdf|archive-date=2011-07-24}} After the holidays, WLOW rebranded itself and launched a new format, a Soft Adult Contemporary sound as "Familiar Favorites - 107.9 The Coast". Although the new format was similar to the previous WLOW, it featured more recent material, from artists such as Lionel Richie, The Bee Gees, The Beach Boys, Marvin Gaye, Gloria Estefan, and Fleetwood Mac.{{cite news|url=http://savannahnow.com/stories/122805/3522611.shtml|title=Did you hear?|work=Savannah Morning News|date=2005-12-28|access-date=2011-04-28|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120917004424/http://savannahnow.com/stories/122805/3522611.shtml|archive-date=2012-09-17}} Smooth jazz was played at night.

After stunting with an all Irish music format as "Shamrock 107.9" on St. Patrick's Day, WLOW flipped from Soft AC to Hot AC as Y107.9 - "90's, 2K, & Today!" on March 18, 2011.

On March 14, 2014, WXYY's call letters and format were moved to the stronger 100.1 signal as "Y100". 107.9's call sign was changed to WRWN, which stunted again with an all-Irish music format as "Shamrock 107.9". The stunting ended March 18, 2014, when WRWN launched a classic hits format branded as "Rewind 107.9".{{cite web|url=http://radioinsight.com/blog/headlines/netgnomes/87981/wrwn-to-rewind-savannah/|title=Rewind 107.9 Savannah Debuts - RadioInsight|date=18 March 2014|website=radioinsight.com|access-date=26 April 2018|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140318205809/http://radioinsight.com/blog/headlines/netgnomes/87981/wrwn-to-rewind-savannah/|archive-date=18 March 2014}}
