History
The station went on the air as WLVO on September 6, 1991. On August 31, 2004, the station changed its call sign to DWLVO, and on August 2, 2007, back to WLVO. The station, which at the time broadcast a classic hits format, quit on January 14, 2012, after station owner Leon Pettersen, due to illness, was not able to operate the station to FCC requirements.
On January 4, 2013, WLVO returned to the air with a contemporary Christian format. On October 1, 2013, the station changed its call sign to the current WJZS. Effective October 1, 2014, WJZS was sold to Newman Broadcasting, Inc. for $2,500.
Effective February 1, 2018, Newman Broadcasting sold WJZS to current owner Southern Stone Communications for $5,000.
WJZS previously broadcast a News Talk Information format in simulcast with Lake City–licensed and Fred Dockins–owned WJTK (96.5 FM). That has since been swapped for a sports radio format.
