History

The station was assigned the WGMZ call letters by the Federal Communications Commission on June 15, 1993.[1] Prior to that, the call letters were used in the Flint, Michigan market on several stations, notably on what is now WCRZ-FM from 1961 to 1984.

WGMZ dropped Top 40 for the Target Radio Satellite Networks adult alternative format "theLYTE".[3]

In 2006, WGMZ (Z-93.1) hired morning popular talents Rick Sisk and Dennis Deason and shifted Wild Bill Seckbach from AM to PM drive. WGMZ's primary coverage area includes Etowah and Calhoun counties (Gadsden/Anniston, AL)
