WSOY-FM (102.9 MHz) is a Top 40 (CHR) radio station licensed to Decatur, Illinois, and serves Central Illinois. The station is owned by the Neuhoff Corporation and calls itself "Y103". The call sign is shared with sister station WSOY 1340 AM, a reference to Decatur's role in soybean farming.[5] On weekdays, Y103 carries two nationally syndicated shows during drive time: "Brooke & Jeffrey" from KQMV Seattle in mornings and "On Air with Ryan Seacrest" from KIIS-FM Los Angeles in afternoons.

WSOY-FM's radio studios and offices are on South Water Street in Decatur.[6] The transmitter is on East Pershing Road at Vicki Drive.[7] WSOY-FM has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 54,000 watts, which is slightly higher than the current maximum of 50,000 watts for Central Illinois.
