History

WFZH went on the air November 22, 2001 with a temporary all-Christmas music format. This format continued until just after Christmas, when they changed to a contemporary Christian format, 105.3, The Fish. Danny Clayton was hired as the first (and only) program director for the radio station, having previously spent his Milwaukee radio career at AC-formatted WKTI. Other original staff members included Milwaukee radio veteran Andi Miller (now traffic reporter for WTMJ). Other personalities joined including Jon Hemmer (currently WMBI, Chicago) and Rick Hall, host at SOS Radio Networks.

WFZH was owned by Salem Communications, the largest Christian and family-themed broadcaster in the United States. The station shared studio space and staff with its sister station, talk-formatted WRRD-AM.
