History
When State College's radio station formats shuffled in 2004, WZWW was one of the few FM stations that maintained its frequency. When the bars in State College tried to promote their respective businesses, they were confused as to which stations to hire.
The station carries a progressive talk radio show, The Stephanie Miller Show weeknights, from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. weeknights.
On September 4th, 2020, at 2PM, after teasing a relaunch with construction noises between songs the previous day, WZWW shifted from Adult Contemporary to Hot Adult Contemporary, keeping the "3WZ" name. The first song after the relaunch was Good as Hell by Lizzo.[1]
