History

The West Virginia Radio Corporation purchased WKAZ-FM and WSWW-AM in 1995. In 2006, WKAZ flipped from Oldies to Adult Hits under the "Jack FM" branding, using the ABC Radio satellite feed. In March 2007, WKAZ-FM restored the previous oldies format using Tom Kent's "Classic Top 40" branding. It positioned itself as "107.3 WKAZ-FM, Classic Top 40".

On April 25, 2011, WKAZ-FM changed its format to classic rock, branded as "107.3 K-Rock".

On August 8, 2014, after stunting for a day with patriotic-themed songs, WKAZ-FM flipped to an eclectic format as Tailgate 107.3. Positioned as a "no rules" format featuring "Party Songs for Party People", the station played a broad mix of current pop and country music, as well as classic hits spanning as far back as the 1970's.[1]

On April 1, 2020, the station flipped to country music as 107.3 KAZ, flanking sister station classic country WKWS.[2]
