The station was the idea of Jamie T. Mercer, a middle school teacher of Computer Skills and Applications. Mercer constructed the station and a small production studio in summer 2013 after receiving a construction permit from the FCC. The station began broadcasting in late January 2014. WZED-LP is one of the few student-based and content-driven broadcast stations on the air. Its live station feed is available on its homepage.[1]
A donation agreement was filed to transfer WZED-LP to Crystal Coast Community Radio on October 22, 2020.[2]
