WVZA (92.7 FM, "92-7 ALT 2K") is an American alternative rock music formatted radio station licensed to Herrin, Illinois, serving the Marion-Carbondale, Illinois, area.
History
92.7 FM previously aired a Top 40 (CHR) format branded as "KISS-FM", competing with WCIL-FM, under the ownership of Clear Channel Communications. It was divested and sold to Withers Broadcasting in 2008 as part of Clear Channel's plan to exit small market radio.[2]
In July 2009, the top 40 format and call sign were moved to 105.1 FM in Murphysboro, Illinois, with the active rock format and WTAO-FM call sign coming over to 92.7 FM. The stations announced a reversal of the call sign swap on July 23, 2018, which took effect on August 1, 2018.[3]
On May 24, 2019, WVZA changed their format from adult contemporary to alternative rock, branded as "92.7 Alt 2K".[4]
