History
WZLK signed on the air in August 1992 under the ownership of Kenneth and Lonnie Osborne. The first songs to play were that of a classic country nature blended with Kentucky bluegrass. The station was co-owned with WLSI in Pikeville, KY. WZLK became a second country outlet in Pike County. FCC.GOV
The ownership changed in 2003 when WZLK and WLSI were purchased by East Kentucky Broadcasting. FCC.GOV
In March 2005, East Kentucky Broadcasting changed the format of WZLK to a hybrid CHR/Alternative format, giving Pike County a local outlet for both Top 40 and Alternative music. The first song played on Z 107.5 in March 2005 was "Self Esteem" by The Offspring.
On September 2, 2015, WZLK flipped to a pure fully fledged Top 40/CHR format.
Effective May 29, 2019, East Kentucky Broadcasting sold WZLK, their eight sister stations, and five translators to Mountain Top Media LLC for $2.85 million.
