History

The station began broadcasting with 10 watts on July 8, 1924 as WEBE in Cambridge, Ohio. By 1930, it was WALR, presumably named after its owner, Roy Waller, and the station had moved to Zanesville. In 1939, the call letters were changed to WHIZ and the power was raised to 250 watts. The power was boosted to 1,000 watts in 1950.
