[edit] Station history

The station opened at 96.7 FM in the late 1970s as WRNZ as a Top 40 outlet known as "Z96". The station changed frequencies from 96.7 to 96.9 and became WMJB in 1984 and WRDW-FM in 1985.

In 1991, the station became WAKB. At first, it broadcasted SMN's urban adult contemporary format known as "The Touch", but eventually went local in the late 1990s under the "Magic 96.9" name.

The station is owned by Perry Broadcasting.
