History

Originally WBZI the FM sister of the former WGIC-AM which employed numerous formats from southern gospel in the mid 70s,adult contemporary in the late 1970s(as "I-95" following a format and AM/FM frequency swap) then switching to country in 1980 and to oldies as WDJK in 1987. The oldies eventually became a simulcast with Piqua's WCLR "Kool 95" becoming repeater WZLR. Another call letter change took place in 2000 becoming WPDT the repeater of WDPT "Dayton's Point" playing classic 1970s and 80s hits until 2003 with the calls reverting back to WZLR and its present format.
