WKAZ
107.3 FM WKAZ was a Country station in Charleston, West Virginia circa the early-to-mid 1990s. They were branded as "QBE2"--a satellite-fed sister station to co-owned 97.5 FM WQBE.
UPDATE: Lots of bonus info in the comments. Thanks Tybois!
Bristol Broadcasting Company owned WKAZ-FM and then-and-still-current sister station WSWW-AM/Charleston, WV. In 1997, West Virginia Radio Corporation (WVRC) purchased WKAZ-FM and WSWW-AM from Bristol.
Bristol-owned WQBE-FM continues to be country. They are the longtime market leader.
WKAZ-FM is also country again as "107-3 KAZ Country" taking the new country format from WVRC-owned WKWS/Charleston (which is now classic country). Since 1997, WKAZ-FM has, basically, carried every format there is, from Jack FM, to a broad country/pop mix, to Classic Top 40, to News/Talk, to Classic Rock, to even Adult Contemporary. They've never found traction with any format.
