WATZ

1450 AM WATZ went on the air in Alpena, Michigan in November 1946.  Sister station WATZ FM signed on in the late 1960s originally at 93.5 FM.  In 1988 they moved to 99.3 FM and flipped from Adult Contemporary to Country.  For several years they simulcast the same programming before the AM broke off to become a News/Talk outlet in the mid-90s.  WATZ AM went off the air permanently in 2014.
