White Stadium (now Tradition Field) in Port St. Lucie (St. Lucie West). The name of the station was on merchandise that was given away during games, including bat holders and towels. In 1992, it changed its format to talk, although it occasionally played music until the mid-1990s. Its current slogan is Music radio sucks; the station used to play music. It is under ownership of iHeartMedia, Inc., and shares a building with several other iHeartMedia, Inc. stations. The WZZR calls used to be assigned to what is now WLHT in Grand Rapids, Michigan. That station was known as "Z-96... The WIZZARD of Rock."
