The call sign was changed to WNYJ in 1987. Under new owners, another set of call letters (WERV) came and went before the frequency signed on as adult contemporary WNYQ on December 15, 1986. However, permit owner Dennis Jackson (now a noted community broadcaster in smaller towns throughout the Northeast) was forced to sell the station before it hit the air. In its construction permit stage, 98.3 was to become WDNZ with an early dance/ rhythmic contemporary format. A testament of this can be seen even before it went on the air. The first decade of 98.3 was quite unstable. WTRY-FM broadcasts in the HD Radio format. The original WTRY was a highly popular Top 40 station in the Albany market through the 1960s and 1970s, moving over to oldies in the 1980s and 1990s, and today is sports radio 980 WOFX. The classic hits format on WTRY-FM is a direct continuation of the oldies format which was previously heard on AM 980.
Studios and offices are on Troy-Schenectady Road ( Route 7) in Latham. The station is owned by iHeartMedia, and broadcasts at 6,000 watts ERP from a tower in between Altamont and Duanesburg off U.S. WTRY-FM serves the New York State Capital District in the Albany- Schenectady- Troy radio market. It airs a classic hits format (and Christmas music from early-November until December 25 or 26). WTRY-FM (98.3 MHz, "98-3 TRY"), is a commercial radio station licensed to Rotterdam, New York.
