WZCY-FM (106.7 FM "Nash FM 106.7") is a commercial FM radio station licensed to serve Hershey, Pennsylvania. The station is owned by Cumulus Media, Inc., through licensee Radio License Holding CBC, LLC, and broadcasts a country format.
Originally WPDC-FM, the station changed its callsign to WRKZ and branded as "Z107" with a country format in the early 1980s.
On February 19, 2004, the station changed its callsign to WCPP and rebranded as "Coolpop" after over 24 hours of playing "Pop Goes the Weasel" on a continuous loop. Many rumors circulated in the community to explain the loop, including rumors of a staff member taking hostages and locking him/herself in the studio and playing the loop. This proved false when the new format launched with "Hey Ya!" by Outkast.
The original airstaff of Coolpop included only one live show, "Michelle & Mitchell" in the morning, while the midday and afternoon shifts were voicetracked by talent from Citadel Broadcasting Company sister station 93Q in Syracuse, New York. As of Spring, 2004, a full line up of live talent was hired. Sarah Vaughn on middays and Justin Louis on afternoons were added to the already live morning show.
Coolpop was marketed as "The World's First Coolpop Station", mixing a standard Mainstream CHR format along with some 1970s and 1980s "Cassette Classics" (later renamed "Coolpop Classics").
Coolpop also alternated theme weekends every other weekend. Some theme weekends included "One Hit Wonders", "Diva Doubleplays", "Coolpop Classics", and the very popular 1970s themed "Studio 106.7".
In early fall 2004, Michelle & Mitchell were replaced with Ed Coffey and Amy Warner, the long running morning show from Harrisburg's WTPA-FM (now WWKL), who had been fired from that station earlier in the summer.
