History of WWNZ
Aug. 17, 1992-104.1 began simulcasting most of WWNZ-AM 740's programming, but the FM did have a few separate programs such as syndicated Barry Farber and a few others. The FM moniker was separate from the AMs "740 WINZ'. The FM was called "Talk 104.1 WWNZ-FM". WWNZ-FM was short-lived as Paxson Communications had plans to sell the station. Paxson sold WWNZ-FM in 1993 at its $5 million "stick value" to New Jersey based Press Broadcasting, owner of Orlando TV station WKCF-TV "WB 18".
