*From 1985 until 1993, the WAEZ callsign was formerly in Milton, West Virginia located on 106.3 FM. That station is now WAMX.
*The 94.9 frequency was a country station known as "Big Dog Country" with WIKQ as their call letters. Up until 2000 when Bristol bought the frequency. The WIKQ call letters are now on the 103.1FM frequency.
