History

The station had originally been WYVA , a local country music station serving Yorktown, Virginia, its city of license. In 1982, the station changed calls to WKEZ as "The Keys To Your Country "

In the late eighties the station was sold to Eure Communications, who continued the country format until Oct 14, 1991 , when , via a time brokerage arrangement, became a simulcast of Norfolk AAA station WKOC "The Coast", and WKEZ changed calls to WKOD until September 15 1992, when the station went back to its own programming as Soft Rock formatted WXEZ, "EZ94".

In the nineties the station's facilities were upgraded to give it a much improved signal over the Tidewater area . In 2000, Eure sold the station to Barnstable Broadcasting , who already owned Norfolk stations ( at the time WGH AM/AM , WCMS AM/FM , and WWSO-FM ). Upon the sale , Barnstable flipped the station to a gospel format as "Gospel Praise 94.1" and later " Star 94.1 "

Barnstable Broadcasting sold its Norfolk cluster to locally based Max Media in early 2005. The cluster ( 92.9/WFOG, 94.1/WXEZ, 97.3/WGH, 100.5/WXMM, 1310/WCMS ) went for $80M. A sixth station in the Barnstable cluster ( 1050/WVXX formerly WCMS-AM ) was sold separately.
