History

The station originally signed on in May 2005, broadcasting a Christian CHR format targeting teenagers and young adults. It initially used the branding Hangar Radio Z, referencing the nickname for the Church's recently-constructed youth center ("The Hangar"), which also housed the station's studios.[1]
