History

From its sign-on in 1961 until changing its call letters to WCRZ in 1984, the station was WGMZ with a long-running and successful MOR/easy listening format. Those calls were assumed by an easy-listening station in Tuscola, Michigan three years later, and that station is known today as WWBN, and has been a sister station to WCRZ since the mid-1990s.

Cars 108's airstaff includes Pat & AJ, who came on board in August 2014, Jeremy Fenech (formerly known as Dave Edwards and Justin Roberts on WCRZ, and "Just Bob" on WWCK), and George McIntyre, who has been a staple of Workday 108 since 1991.

Since the mid-1990s WCRZ has been the number one radio station in Flint, off and on, and was the first station in the market to broadcast in high definition. Since then, sister stations WWBN and WRCL have also added HD broadcasting, as has competing station WDZZ.
