History

The station went on the air as WIFL on November 21, 1997. On May 6, 1999, the station changed its call sign to the current WKEZ-FM.[2]

On June 8, WKEZ-FM changed their format from easy listening to oldies, branded as "True Oldies".

On April 1, 2017, WKEZ-FM changed their format from oldies to classic hits, branded as "Mix 96.9". (info taken from stationintel.com)

The station was most recently owned by Jonathan Smith's Choice Radio Keys Corporation. Due to an inability to pay outstanding debts, the company assigned the licenses of WGMX and sister stations WFFG, WGMX, and WKEY-FM to a trustee on June 4, 2018 to be sold for the benefit of creditors.

gollark: The excuse for this sort of thing seems to be basically always "think of the children" and "terrorism".
gollark: > Clearview AI is a new research tool used by law enforcement agencies to identify perpetrators and victims of crimes.> Computer vision for a safer world> Clearview AI's technology has helped law enforcement track down hundreds of at-large criminals, including pedophiles, terrorists and sex traffickers. It is also used to help exonerate the innocent and identify the victims of crimes including child sex abuse and financial fraud.
gollark: This "clearview AI" thing they link seems worrying.
gollark: If it just makes small pixel-scale tweaks which aren't human-perceptible then it could probably be defeated by future face recognition stuff.
gollark: It's an interesting idea but I'm not exactly hugely convinced.
