History

The Tompkinsville years as the original WTKY-FM

Originally licensed to and based in Tompkinsville, Kentucky, the station began on November 15, 1971, as WTKY-FM, the FM counterpart of WTKY (1370 AM). It was owned by J. E. Whittimore. The Whittimores sold WTKY-AM-FM in 1982 to Ministers' Broadcasting Corporation; at the time, the FM aired a top 40 format. The nine investors spent $450,000 to buy the stations but sold them back to Whittimore in 1984 for the release of some $400,000 in debt.

In December 2015, WTKY-AM-FM, along with WKWY (102.7 FM) and Celina, Tennessee–based WVFB (101.5 FM) were purchased by Frank Keeton Aircasters from the estate of Bernice Whittimore for $400,000.

In 2025, Steven Newberry acquired WTKY-FM for $65,000. Newberry owns four stations in Glasgow. The call sign was changed to WWZG in May 2026, and the station went silent at that time; the WTKY-FM callsign was reassigned to the former WKWY.

Relaunch in the Caveland area

On November 5, 2026, WWZG's broadcast license was relocated from Tompkinsville to Park City, and returned to the air with a simulcast of hot adult contemporary-formatted WHHT-HD3, branded as "Zing 106.7 & 92.1".
