History

WVVR-FM went on the air in 1960 as WFOF-FM with several call sign changes through the years including WKSD-FM, WKOA-FM, WYKH-FM, WZZF-FM & WBVR-FM. the station was purchased in 1977 by a group of Hopkinsville, KY investors, with Hal King serving as the manager. WKOA became WYKH- meaning "Your Kentucky Home"- which switched to a solid gold format in 1986 after John N. Hall III bought the station. The next year the station became WQKS- "Kiss FM" to reflect a new urban contemporary format.

Over time the station programmed beautiful music, stereo rock and contemporary hit radio. The station known as K-100, became Z-100 when the call letters changed to WZZF-FM in 1986.
