On January 21, 2025, almost exactly a year after the last callsign change, the station dropped the country format (which would move to an online webstream on the former website, shifting to a classic country focus) and began stunting with various loops of songs (specifically, first "Take This Job and Shove It" by Johnny Paycheck, then "May The Bird of Paradise Fly Up Your Nose" by Little Jimmy Dickens, then "The Door" by Teddy Swims, then "Jungle Love" by The Time); at 5:30 PM on the 24th, the stunt shifted to a jockless contemporary hit radio format, with the first song under the temp format being "Good Luck, Babe!"

Actor Frank Sutton began his broadcasting career at WJZM in 1942, as a Radio Announcer after moving back to Clarksville upon his graduation at East High School in Nashville.
