WUUU
History
The station signed on the air in 1995 as a class A station playing country music owned by Gaco Broadcasting Corp. In May 2002, the station was sold to Marcus Pittman, III.
On December 18, 2013, the station was relocated to a new transmitter site just north of Folsom, Louisiana, and upgraded to a Class C3 operating at 25,000 watts. Two days later, the station returned to the air with a loop of Roar by Katy Perry.
On February 5, 2014, WUUU roars to Top-40 (CHR), branded as "Triple U 98.9". Three years later, the station roars back to country music, branded as "Cat Country 98.9".
