WWBB AM 1450 was the first radio station in Boone County. In 1989 WWBB was bought by a local person. Later he built the WZAC 92.5 FM and changed the calls on WWBB 1450 to WZAC for little while. Later on WZAC 1450 was off air and only the FM was on the air. The station started out local people. Then as the years went on it went to 24/7 Formats. Like Jones Radio, Radio One (now Waitt Radio), started playing a mix of Country and Classic Country. Then WZAC went to 24/7 format with Jones playing the "Today's Country" brand.
