Butler Broadcasting Corporation received the original construction permit from the Federal Communications Commission in 1978 for a new FM station broadcasting with 3,000 watts of effective radiated power on 93.5 MHz. The new station was assigned the call letters WQGL by the FCC. On September 11, 1978, the same day the station applied to the FCC for its license to cover, the owners received new call letters WQGL-FM. WQGL-FM received its license to cover from the FCC on July 30, 1979. On April 8, 1992, the station returned to the unadorned WQGL callsign.
On May 4, 1995, the FCC granted this station a construction permit to move their transmitter site, raise their antenna, and upgrade their broadcast power to 25,000 watts. These upgrades were completed in May 1997 and the station changed call letters to WKZB on June 9, 1997.
In June 2002, Butler Broadcasting Corporation (Darryl Jackson, president) reached an agreement to sell this station to East Mississippi Broadcasters, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Holladay Broadcasting (Bob Holladay, president), for a reported sale price of $771,500. The deal was approved by the FCC on August 16, 2002, and the transaction was consummated on October 30, 2002. At the time of the sale, WKZB broadcast a classic rock music format.
