WCGY 93.7 FM (SuperHits 94 CGY) was a radio station in Greater Boston, Massachusetts, USA. In the station's early days as WGHJ and WCCM-FM, 93.7 aired locally based programming that targeted Lawrence and the Merrimack Valley. In 1974 the station evolved into WCGY, an automated Stereo Top 40/oldies station that targeted the Greater Boston, Massachusetts area, due to the signal's strength. The call letters were chosen with the owner in mind as Curt Gowdy and his children owned and operated the station until the sale to American Radio Systems in 1994.

In 1983, WCGY flipped to an oldies format playing hits of the '50s and '60s. The station, however, did not perform well in the Boston ratings. Some early to mid '70s oldies were mixed in by 1984, and by 1985, the '50s music was gone. The station by then was called "Superhits  94 CGY". By 1986, the station leaned slightly toward classic rock still playing mostly music from 1964 to 1974. By 1987, WCGY evolved to more of a classic rock format and held on to this format until 1994. From 1992-1994, they were called "Rock 93, WCGY"

On September 30, 1994, after the station was sold to American Radio Systems, WCGY became '70s-formatted WEGQ "Eagle 93.7", which then underwent many changes over its five-year existence. Initially, they played music from 1970-79 ranging from classic rock to disco to pop to pop/rock to novelty to easy listening.


93.7 FM is currently WEEI-FM (SportsRadio 93.7).
