History

Until July 22, 2004, WWZW (then WREL-FM) and sister WREL-AM were owned by Equus Communications, Inc.

On August 10, 2004, WREL-FM switched calls to WWZW to match co-owned station WZWW in Bellefonte, PA.

On November 1, 2004, WWZW, still a country music station, adopted the "3WZ" branding, the same branding used by sister WZWW, an adult contemporary station.

On February 2, 2005, First Media Radio changed WWZW's format from country to adult contemporary. Sister WREL-AM remained a news/talk radio station.
