History

WNZS originally signed on in 2002, simulcasting CNN Headline News but gradually added Salem Radio Network talk show hosts Bill Bennett's Morning in America, The Laura Ingraham Show, Mike Gallagher and Michael Medved. In 2011, co-owned WGUY signed on the air and began simulcasting WNZS. In March 2012, the station began simulcasting on FM translator W231CH 94.1, which had previously simulcasted WWNZ. The FM translator switched to a simulcast of WGUY in May 2012, when that station flipped formats to Oldies. In late 2014 the Salem Radio Network programming moved to WWNZ, with WNZS picking up WWNZ's Fox News Radio programming.
