History
[edit | edit source]WKZW began operation July 7, 1975 on 93.5 MHz as the FM sister station to WIZK. In 1998, its format was changed from country to hot adult contemporary after it was purchased by Blakeney Communications.[4] The station was assigned the WKZW call letters by the Federal Communications Commission on April 8, 1998 (which were formerly assigned to the Peoria, Illinois legendary KZ-93 and later, KZ-94.3 in the same market).[1][5] A few weeks later, WKZW moved to 94.3 MHz, which allowed it to improve its signal and become a maximized Class C2 station.
