It's a new morning...

 ...at WIMZ 103.5!

If you go way back at this dial position, in early 1977 they decided to go head-to-head with WIVK for the country music listeners. 

The DJ line up included Ktown newcomer Karl Shannon (from Louisville) along with WIVK jock Tony Eubanks, Ken Johnson, Kathy Hill, Dave Foulk, Don Lindsey, and more. The station call letters were WBIR-FM.

And then in August 1979...WBIR (We Believe In Rock) debuted with an album rock format. Keith Lambert and Carson Cooper were on the air. It wasn't too much later that the call letters were switched to WIMZ.

Fast forward to today, the station maintains the format that debuted in 1979, and John Boy and Billy have hosted their syndicated morning show there for years. But, all good things come to an end, even in radio, John Boy and Billy are hanging up their mics and headphones.

...enter stage left, as of January 2026 the new morning team will be Jay Mac, she's been the nighttime host for nearly 20 years, and she'll team with Drake Meredith, who has been with the station since 2019.

Happy Trails to JB & B, and good morning to Jay Mac & Drake!
