WOZN ("The Zone") is a sports talk radio station licensed to and serving Madison, Wisconsin. Owned and operated by Mid-West Family Broadcasting, WOZN broadcasts on 1670 AM, and is also simulcast on WOZN-FM (106.7), which is licensed to Mount Horeb and whose signal covers Western portions of Dane County, Wisconsin.

History

The station began operating in 1948 at the 1480 AM frequency under the call letters WISC, which were eventually changed to WISM. For years, WISM was the popular Top 40 radio station in Madison and was the first station in Wisconsin to broadcast in AM stereo in the early 1980s ("Both Sides Now" by Judy Collins was the first song WISM played in AM Stereo). In 1984, the WTDY call letters were adopted, which originally stood for "Today Radio," a format that featured a mix of music, news, sports and weather, with the station eventually moving to a full news/talk format. WTDY would relocate to the 1670 AM frequency in 2002, and would add an FM simulcast, at 106.7, by the end of 2011 (see below), a simulcast that continues today as WOZN and WOZN-FM.
