    WKZB (97.9 MHz, "The Buzz") is a classic hits-formatted FM radio station licensed to Newton, Mississippi broadcasting in the Meridian, Mississippi, Arbitron market. Its transmitter is located near Chunky, Mississippi.

    History[edit]

    On September 9, 2011, the then-WHTU changed its call sign to WUCL and changed format to classic country.[1]

    On October 28, 2016, WUCL changed its format from classic country (which moved to WJXM 105.7 FM DeKalb) to classic hits, branded as "97.9 The Buzz" as part of a three-station format shuffle.[2] On November 8, 2016, the station assumed the WJXM call sign. On November 16, 2016, WJXM changed its call sign to WKZB.
