WEUZ (92.1 FM) is an urban contemporary formatted radio station that serves north Alabama and south-central Tennessee, United States. [cite web |title=Station Information Profile |work=Arbitron |url=http://www.arbitron.com/] Its programming is a simulcast of co-owned WEUP-FM. This programming is also simulcast on W222AK (92.3 FM), W275AA (102.9 FM), and W238AD (95.5 FM).
This station was assigned the WEUZ call letters by the Federal Communications Commission on April 6, 2000.[cite web |url=http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/cdbs/pubacc/prod/call_hist.pl?Facility_id=7053 |title=Call Sign History |work=FCC Media Bureau CDBS Public Access Database] ]Ownership
In 1987, a married couple, Hundley Batts, Sr. and Dr. Virginia Caples, acquired WXKI (92.1 FM, now WEUZ-FM), licensed to Minor Hill, Tennessee, (just north of the Alabama border). This followed their assumption of the ownership and operation of WEUP (AM). They combined these operations and brought WEUP onto the FM broadcast airwaves.
They operated WEUP & WEUZ-FM under the parent company name of Broadcast One. They continued to expand the station's audience by acquiring WHIY (1190 AM, now WEUV) and WXKI (103.1 FM, now WEUP-FM), both licensed to Moulton, Alabama, in 1989. The stations were sold to Hundley Batts and Virginia Caples as part of a two-station deal by Moulton Broadcasting Co. Inc. (WHIY) and Lawco FM Ltd. (WXKI). [cite news |title=Changing Hands |first=Alisa |last=Holmes |work=Broadcasting & Cable |date=1999-05-10] WEUV (1700 AM, now WEUP (AM)) was later added to the group of stations that are part of the WEUP broadcast family.
