History
On December 24, 1964, the station first signed on the air. Its original call sign was WMCF and it was powered at only 3,000 watts, a fraction of its current output.

WMCF was the FM counterpart to WSTU 1450 AM, which had been on the air since 1954. Part of the day the two stations simulcast and some hours were separately programmed. WSTU was a middle of the road station with news from the Mutual Broadcasting System.

In 1980, the call letters switched to WRIT and in 1987, it became WZZR. The current call sign began to be used in 2003.
