History[]
The station became WSKZ in August 1978 in which they were formerly co-owned with their nearby AM station WGOW during its early years but by 1981 the station became a Top 40/CHR format in which WSKZ is the only FM radio station in Chattanooga that broadcast a fully-fledged Top 40/CHR station. But beginning in 1985, unlike most Top 40 stations, WSKZ began fledging into a similar "Rock-40" format lean (similar to KEGL in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex in Texas). The station formerly began competing against a new Top 40/CHR station WBDX in 1989, WSKZ continued their run as a Top 40/CHR station until 1992 when they returned to simulcasting WGOW after being a Top 40/CHR station to Chattanooga for 14 years. Then after 12 incredible years of playing rockin' hits, WSKZ has decided to transform from their highly successful Top 40/CHR format into their current Classic Rock format in 2000.
