WHIZ-FM (Z102) is a radio station in Zanesville, Ohio. The station is licensed as WHIZ-FM, and broadcasts at 102.5 MHz on the FM band. Z102 plays Adult contemporary music, and is owned by the WHIZ Media Group (which also owns WHIZ (AM) and WHIZ-TV).

The city of license for WHIZ-FM was changed from Zanesville to Baltimore, Ohio in the fall of 2005. On March 27, 2006, the station owner filed an application for a construction permit to build a new transmitter in its new licensed area. When the construction permit is granted and the new transmitter is completed, WHIZ-FM will be part of the Columbus, Ohio market and will no longer serve the Zanesville area.

The WHIZ Media Group attempted to purchase WCVZ-FM 92.7 in late 2006, with the presumed purpose of moving WHIZ-FM to that frequency, and selling the 102.5 frequency. However, station owner Christian Voice of Central Ohio, Inc. (CVCO) rebuffed the overture and WHIZ-FM has continued broadcasting on 102.5 throughout 2007.
