92.7 FM previously aired a
Top 40 (CHR) format branded as "KISS-FM", competing with
WCIL-FM, under the ownership of
Clear Channel Communications. It was divested and sold to
Withers Broadcasting in 2008 as part of Clear Channel's plan to exit small market radio. In July 2009, the top 40 format and
call sign were moved to 105.1 FM in
Murphysboro, Illinois, with the
active rock format and
WTAO-FM call sign coming over to 92.7 FM. The stations announced a reversal of the call sign swap on July 23, 2018, which took effect on August 1, 2018. On May 24, 2019, WVZA changed their format from adult contemporary to alternative rock, branded as "92.7 Alt 2K". ==References==
