History

In the late 1980s, Terry Barnhardt of Gainesville, Georgia, secured a Federal Communications Commission construction permit to build an FM radio station northwest of Atlanta. The FCC gave the proposed station the call sign WGGA-FM.

The station first signed on the air in 1989, as WGGA-FM, known on the air as "Georgia 101.9". In 1991, it was bought by Advantage Media for $1.18 million. It later had the call letters WGZM, WCGX before changing to WAZX in 1994.

In 2001, the station's call letters changed again, this time to WAZX-FM. It was acquired by a firm calling itself WAZX-FM, Inc. The price of the station had dropped since the previous sale. The new owners paid $60,000.
