WAZY-FM (96.5 MHz "Z96-5") is a radio station in Lafayette, Indiana, owned by William Fielder, III's Coastal Television, through licensee CTI License LLC, as part of a cluster with Fox/NBC affiliate WPBI-LD, ABC affiliate WPBY-LD, and sister radio stations WBPE, WSHY and WYCM.

Some of the talent and programming staff that worked for WAZY in the 1970s moved on to become programmers in New York City, Philadelphia, and Chicago.

Jeffrey Jay Weber, who later became one of the first PD's to make the move directly to GM when he left the station to go to an AM-FM in Terre Haute, was instrumental in the station's growth in the late seventies, along with jocks like Bobby Day, Dan Michaels, Lou Patrick, Scott Dugan, Bob Leonard, Keith Harris and Steve West.

[7] Lightfoot Broadcasting acquired WAZY-FM, along with the AM sister station now using the call letters WFTE on January 7, 1982.

[citation needed] History-making ratings (36 share) were achieved in the '80s with Jim Stacy as program director, and talent including Steve West (mornings), Steve Louizos, Dr. Dave (Dave Gross), which was featured on the cover of Friday Morning Quarterback.

"[citation needed] In the fall of 2000, WAZY-FM leadership decided to soften its musical approach and flipped to adult contemporary.

On March 16, 2001, just 6 months after the switch to AC, WAZY-FM returned to the Contemporary Hits Radio (Top 40) format.

In 2004, Artistic Media Partners, as a part of company-wide sports programming realignment initiative, moved Purdue University Football and Men's Basketball off WAZY-FM to their classic rock sister station, WSHP, and the following year to country sister, WLFF.

[citation needed] Artistic Media Partners sold its Lafayette stations to Star City Broadcasting, owner of WPBI-LD (channel 16), in 2016.
