History
1090 AM originally signed on in 1973 as WMTY with 1,000 watts of power. Throughout its run, it has carried mostly satellite formats, originally oldies as "Cruisin' Oldies 1090", and the calls were eventually changed to the current WCZZ. In 2006, the station became "Rejoice! 1090" carrying ABC Radio's Rejoice! Musical Soul Food satellite format. The station switched to sports talk via ESPN Radio in 2007. In June 2009, that station changed to an urban gospel format.
In 2017, the WCZZ switched formats to sports talk, branded as "Fox Sports Greenwood". The station remains on the AM dial at 1090 and has added an FM translator frequency at 102.7 FM.
On November 13, 2020, WCZZ changed their format from sports to urban adult contemporary, branded as "Magic 102.7".[1]
