WZPL (99.5 FM) is a radio station based in Greenfield, Indiana, and serving the Indianapolis metropolitan area. The station, known as "Z99.5," airs a hot adult contemporary format. WZPL is owned by Entercom.
[edit] History
The station began as WSMJ in 1964. They changed to a disco format and the call sign WIKS-FM ("Kiss 99") in 1979. Later, a contemporary hit radio format was adopted which, aside from a brief experiment playing classic rock in 1989, has continued to this day, though in more of an adult-oriented direction.
The WZPL call sign was adopted in 1983, but over the years the station has referred to itself by various informal names, including "Z99.5", "Indy's Apple WZPL," "99 1/2 WZPL," and "99 1/2 ZPL." Sister stations include WXNT and WNTR.
The station features The Smiley Morning Show, hosted by Dave Smiley, weekday mornings and Kelly McKay in the afternoons.
[edit] HD Radio
In 2005, WZPL became one of the first Indianapolis-area radio stations to broadcast their signal in HD Radio. In 2006, they introduced a stream of All Comedy Radio, a 24-hour comedy station, also known as "The Laugh Button," on their alternate HD-2 signal frequency.[1]
