WAIZ (630 AM) is a radio station broadcasting an oldies format to the Hickory, North Carolina, United States, area.
The station is currently owned by Pacific Broadcast Group, Inc. and identifies itself as "63 Big Ways."
The format recreates a format resembling a 1960s Top 40 station by using the jingles and other airchecks from WAYS (which was the original "Big Ways"), a legendary Charlotte Top 40 station from the 1960s.
WAIZ signed on in 1948 as WIRC from a transmitter site in southeast Hickory, North Carolina.
In 2016, WAIZ installed an FM translator on 105.9 MHz running 250 watts.
