How's it sound?
The sound quality of this station has improved
considerably recently. I find it interesting that their main competition,
WOW 102, also cleaned up their sound recently too. I hope you country music
fans will call them on it if they ever go back to sounding as bad as they
used to!
History:
This station goes back
to the early days of FM as WJLN, the FM simulcast of counterpart of WJLD
1400 AM. This was Birmingham's first AoR station, back in the 70's. The
station played whole albums! Their slogan was "WJLN plays the albums".
Then WZZK, "Country Sunshine on FM 105" was born.
Now is the market leading
country station.
