WZOR (94.7 FM) is a commercial radio station serving the Green Bay, Fox Cities and lakeshore areas of Northeastern Wisconsin. The station is licensed to the Manitowoc County community of Mishicot, Wisconsin, and airs an active rock music format as "Razor 94-7." WZOR's studios are located on College Avenue in Appleton, while its transmitter is located near Denmark. WZOR has a simulcast on W292DR (106.3 FM), which covers De Pere and the immediate Green Bay area.
The station launched in 1994 as WGBM, and previously aired adult contemporary and classic country formats before being sold to current owner Woodward Communications in 2000.
"Razor 94.7" WZOR debuted on February 28, 2000, with the song "Head Like a Hole" by Nine Inch Nails. When the station debuted, it started with 94 days straight of just music. After that, the very first DJ, who was then Assistant Program Director Roxanne Steele, took to air. At this time, sister station WAPL Program Director Joe Calgaro was running the station. It did not take long for Roxanne to then take over the station completely and become PD. In 2005, then-afternoon host Cutter became Roxanne's Assistant. In 2007, after Roxanne had left, Joe Calgaro took over as Razor PD once again with the help from Cutter, but in late 2008, she was brought back, this time as Promotions Director for both Razor and sister station WAPL. In March 2009, after Cutter had left, then-WAPL Assistant Program Director Elwood took over the APD duties for WZOR as well. In late 2012, Joe Calgaro put in his resignation and moved to Milwaukee to take over WHQG. Elwood was promoted to Program Director again for both stations and parent company Woodward Communications brought back Cutter to host afternoons and handle Social Media and music duties.
