History

WZTK was issued its broadcast license by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on July 30, 2014. WZTK signed on the air at 105.7 FM on June 26, 2014.[1] The station assumed the talk radio format and programming that formerly aired on WATZ, whose license was surrendered to the FCC on July 7, 2014.[2] WZTK is locally owned and operated by the same company that founded WATZ in 1946.

On November 18, 2022, it was announced that WZTK would drop the conservative talk format and begin stunting with Christmas music on November 24. By December 22, the station began airing promos and sweepers promoting the launch of a music-based format on January 2, 2023. On December 30, 2022, it was announced that the new format would be oldies, to be branded as "105.7 The Bird", which launched on January 2, 2023.[3]
