History

WNZS originally signed on in 2002 simulcasting CNN Headline News but gradually added conservative talk show hosts Bill Bennett's Morning in America, The Laura Ingraham Show, Mike Gallagher and Michael Medved. In 2011 co-owned WGUY signed on the air and began simulcasting WNZS. In March of 2012 the station began simulcasting on FM translator W231CH 94.1, which had previously simulcasted WWNZ. The FM translator switched to a simulcast of WGUY in May 2012 when that station flipped formats to Oldies.
