History
On January 31, 2018, WZFC changed their format from Classic Country to a simulcast of sister news/talk station WINC in nearby Winchester.[1]
On November 17, 2020, both WZFC and sister station WXBN became a simulcast of WINC-FM and its Hot Adult Contemporary format. WINC-FM's programming was migrated to the two stations in anticipation of its sale to the Educational Media Foundation.[5][6]
