[edit] History

WNFZ 94.3 signed on the air in February 1967 as WATO-FM where it broadcasted an underground rock format. Students at the University of Tennessee would use their antennas to get the station.

94.3 later changed to an easy listening format as WUUU and their slogan was "The Station For You". It was off the air for a short time until January 18, 1982 when WUUU became WETQ, a country music formatted station as "Q-94FM".

On March 25, 1985, the station changed calls to WKNF-FM and became "Magic 94". This was Oak Ridge and Knoxville's only oldies station. In the early 1990s, they became a classic country station as "K-94". Before 1993 or 1994, they became a CHR station and kept the "K-94" name. On July 1, 1994, WKNF-FM changed to their current calls to WNFZ and became an alternative rock station.

The station has been branded from "94Z" to the current "94-3 The X".
