In the late 90s-early 2000s it began simulcasting with its sister stationWIZD 99.9 FM under the name "The Oldies Station." This was done to allow the entire Wausau-Stevens Point radio market to be linked with one oldies station.In 2004, WIZD and WOFM became known as "Cool FM" still with oldies.
In August 2005, WIZD and WOFM separated. WIZD became simply 99.9 WIZD heavily targeting the Plover and Stevens Point area in which the station is local to.

In October 2005 it was announced that WOFM would switch format. The new format turned out to be
rhythmic CHR as "Wild 94-7"The
rhythmic CHR format was short lived however. The current format debuted in March 2006 under the name "94.7 The Peak"In September 2006, WOFM and WIZD began
