Programming
WZZL has been airing a mainstream rock format since inception. It opened in 1988 by playing "In the Air Tonight" by Phil Collins for 24 hours.
The station also carried the syndicated The Bob & Tom Show weekday mornings, until January 2016. On January 11 WZZL began airing The Free Beer and Hot Wings Show weekday mornings from 4 a.m. to 9 a.m.
In January 2017, WZZL switched slogans from "'ZZL Rocks" to "Everything That Rocks", as they were increasing their Classic Rock and Classic Alternative selections, to better compete with WJLI and sister station KGMO. To further showcase the move towards Classic Rock, their television commercial featured only Classic Rock artists and songs.[2]
