WEZN-FM (99.9 MHz, "Star 99.9") is a commercial FM radio station, licensed to Bridgeport, Connecticut and serving Southern Connecticut. The station is owned by Connoisseur Media and it airs a hot adult contemporary radio format. The studios and offices are located at 440 Wheelers Farms Road Suite 302 in Milford, Connecticut and the transmitter is off Video Lane in Shelton, Connecticut.
WEZN has a strong signal which reaches north of Hartford, Connecticut as well as into Suffolk County, New York on Long Island to the south and into Westchester County, New York to the west. It has a strong signal in Monmouth County, New Jersey.
On October 24, 1960, the station first signed on the air as WJZZ, the FM sister station of WICC. As the call letters imply, the station started out as a Jazz outlet. It was the first station to be assigned the WJZZ call sign followed by 105.9 FM in Detroit, Michigan (now WDMK) and 107.5 FM in Atlanta, Georgia (now WAMJ). There were few FM radios in the 1960s and the all-Jazz format was not financially viable. For a time, WICC simulcast the programming from AM 600 on FM 99.9. WICC sold the station after several years.
