History

Around 1987 WSRZ-FM was CHR/Top 40 as Z-106.

As an oldies station, WSRZ was originally located at 106.5 MHz, known as 'Oldies 106' and played music from the 1950s to the early '70s. Weekend specialty programming included street corner harmony "Doo Wop". In 1999, a major shift was done among Clear Channel stations, with Country WCTQ (92 CTQ) moving to the superior 106.5 position, WSRZ moving to the slightly smaller 107.9 position, and the hard rocker WYNF moving from 107.9 to the newly created (and much lower powered) 105.9. 92.1 adopted an easy listening format as the Dove.

At 107.9, WSRZ-FM was originally known as "Oldies 108" and played an oldies format, continuing to focus on music from the 1950s through the early 1970s. In early 2007, the moniker was changed to the present "107.9 WSRZ", dropping music from the 1950s and early 1960s; the current format is classic hits, focusing on music from the mid-1960s through the early 1980s.^[1]

Currently there is only one live show on 107.9, the The Morning Crew with Jones & Crane All other shows are voice tracked.
