History

WNKZ-FM signed on as WZJZ in October 2000. [2] On March 7, 2016, Sebago Broadcasting Company, under the licensee of GSB Broadcasting, LLC, closed on the sale of the then-WICO-FM. [6] On the same date, WICO-FM began simulcasting its new sister station, WCTG, and that station's adult hits format. [6]

On April 1, 2017, WICO-FM went silent and returned to the air on May 1, 2017, with a simulcast of Christian adult contemporary-formatted WKNZ from Harrington, Delaware. On June 16, 2017, WKNZ's owner The Bridge of Hope, Inc. consummated the purchase of WICO-FM for $250,000. On November 10, 2017, WICO-FM changed its call sign to WNKZ-FM.
