History
The station signed on the air in 1999 as WYNF. As a construction permit, before it was built, the station also had the call signs WEDD and WLTF. In 2002, it used the call sign WSRQ before becoming WTZB the following year.
On February 1, 2016, WTZB changed its format from active rock (as "105.9 The Buzz") to classic rock, branded as "Z105". Leading up to the format flip, WTZB stunted by playing AC/DC's "For Those About to Rock" on a loop for an entire weekend.[3]
On September 23, 2019, the station launched a live local morning drive time show titled "Frank's Garage" hosted by a DJ known as "Frank The Tank." In 2023, Z105 adjusted its format to mainstream rock.
