History
Owned by WAZY Radio Inc., WAZY-FM signed on the air October 1, 1964. It joined sister AM radio station WAZY, today known as WSHY. J.E. Willis served as President and General Manager for WAZY Radio Inc. Both radio stations programmed a simulcast of Contemporary Top 40 music. This means that, at over 50 years, WAZY-FM is one of the oldest Top 40 programmed radio stations in the U.S.A.
On March 1, 1970, ownership of both radio stations transferred to Radio Lafayette, Inc. (Group Owner: the Peoria (IL) Journal-Star newspaper) with F. Patrick Nugent serving as Vice President and General Manager. Hal Youart, later the station's General Manager, was widely regarded as the person who grew WAZY-FM into the successful station it was.

You Save Me
by: Kenny ChesneyEvery now and then I get a little lost
My strings all get tangled, my wires all get crossed
Every now and then I'm right up on the edge
Dangling my toes out over the ledge
I just thank God you're here
'Cause when I'm a bullet shot out of a gun
'Cause when I'm a firecracker comin' undone
Or when I'm a fugitive ready to run, all wild-eyed and crazy
No matter where my reckless soul takes me
Baby you save me
It's hard lovin' a man that's got a gypsy soul
I don't know how you do it, I'm not sure how you know
The perfect thing to say to save me from myself
You're the angel that believes in me like nobody else
And I thank God you do
'Cause when I'm a bullet shot out of a gun
When I'm a firecracker coming undone
When I'm a fugitive ready to run, all wild-eyed and crazy
No matter where my reckless soul takes me
Baby you save me
I know I don't tell you nearly enough
That I couldn't live one day without your love
When I'm a ship tossed around on the waves
Up on a highwire that's ready to break
When I've had just about all I can take
Baby you, baby you save me
When I'm a bullet shot out of a gun
When I'm a firecracker coming undone
When I'm a fugitive ready to run, all wild-eyed and crazy
No matter where my reckless soul takes me
