On January 2, 2017, after stunting on New Year's Day with a loop of "Right Now" by Van Halen (as "K-Jewel" moved to KJZN and shifted back to Soft AC), KJWL flipped to Top 40/CHR as "99.3 Now FM".[1] On January 5, 2017, KJWL changed their call letters to KJZN.[2] On January 18, 2017, KJZN changed their call letters to KWDO.[3]
