[edit] History

In 1997, WZNF started broadcasting from its 1,400 foot tower in McHenry, Mississippi as a modern adult contemporary and modern rock outlet as WLNF - "Live 95.3" until a 1999 switch to Top 40 hits trying to replace the old Power 108 as "Power 95", but the ratings were low so they changed the format and call letters to classic rock as WZNF - "Z95.3" in 2002.[citation needed]
