On January 30, 2017, DLC Media took over ownership of WZJK as the previous call sign, WWVR, moved to Midwest Communications' 98.5 signal as "98.5 The River WWVR", replacing WBOW. Upon the move, 105.5 flipped to variety hits as "105.5 Jack FM", with new call sign WZJK.

In August 2021, DLC Media announced that it would sell WVIG (95.9 FM) to the Educational Media Foundation. The WVIG call sign was to be moved to 105.5 after the sale of 95.9. WVIG's classic country format was moved to WZJK, replacing the Jack FM variety hits format. The 95.9 facility then was taken silent. [4] The station assumed the WVIG call sign from 95.9 on January 26, 2022.
