History

WZAC started in 1989. WWBB AM 1450 was the first radio station in Boone County. In 1989 WWBB was bought by a local person. Later he built the WZAC 92.5 FM and changed the calls on WWBB 1450 to WZAC for little while. Later on WZAC 1450 was off air and only the FM was on the air. The station started out local people. Then as the years went on it went to 24/7 formats. Like Jones Radio, Radio One (now Waitt Radio), started playing a mix of Country and Classic Country. Then WZAC went to 24/7 format with Jones playing the "Today's Country" brand. Finally in 2002 the owner flipped the station to all Classic Country.

Studios were always located in Madison WV just down the road from Danville. The transmitter site is atop the Newport Mountain near Danville. In Summer 2004 the owner moved the studio to Danville. The coverage area is a 25 to 30 mile radius. WZAC runs AP Network News at the top of the hour. WZAC runs WV Metro News updates during the rest of hour.
