The morning show is called the "Soo Morning Crew" and features Tim Ellis and Lissa (Melissa Krahnke) along with news director Scott Nason. Krahnke continues on the air solo until 3pm. Jason Mapes holds down afternoon drive from 3pm -7pm and Paul VanWagoner (Junior) hosts evenings 7pm - Midnight.
According to the latest Arbitron Ratings, WYSS is the most listened to station in Chippewa County for ages 12-45.
