WAZR (93.7 FM) is a Contemporary Hit Radio formatted broadcast radio station licensed to Woodstock, Virginia, though studios are located in Harrisonburg, Virginia.
WAZR serves the Harrisonburg/Staunton area. WAZR is owned and operated by Clear Channel Communications.
WAZR launched on December 3, 1985[1] and was owned by Ruarch Associates, LLC of Woodstock, Virginia. The station would carry an Adult Standards format, branded as "Z-93". Ruarch Associates, LLC sold WAZR to Clear Channel for an unknown sum, and in May 2002, the Adult Standards format was moved from WAZR to WAMM at 1230 AM, while WAZR became a Contemporary Hit Radio/Mainstream top 40 format, branded as "93.7 Kiss FM". The station's tower was moved south into Rockingham County and puts a poor signal into Woodstock.
At noon on September 20, 2010, WAZR shifted to Hot Adult Contemporary, branded as "Alice 93.7". At the same time, the station dropped the syndicated "Elvis Duran and the Morning Show", which had been carried since May 4, 2009 from 6 to 10am.[2] Elvis returned on July 11, 2011.
On September 5, 2011, WAZR reverted back to its Contemporary Hit Radio/Mainstream top 40 format, but kept the Alice name, now branded as "All The Hits, Alice 93-7"
