WKZV (Pennsylvania)

On May 16, 2013, the station went dark, and returned its license to the FCC, after ending its country music format of more than two decades.

Among the station's original staff at start-up was general manager Lew Wade, vice president Leo Shank, and chief engineer Richard Canter.

The third owner, William Ferguson, changed the station's format to adult contemporary, delivered via satellite through the Transtar Radio Network.

The station returned to the air in the spring of 1992, this time with a new set of call letters; WKZV ("KZ Country") and a new owner, U.S. North Broadcasting, Inc.

The new owner discontinued satellite-delivered country music format in May 1995 and hired two local announcers, Jeff Martin and Randy Allum, each working half of the broadcast day.

Not long afterwards, the WKZV transmission towers were dismantled and the building on Chestnut Street was razed after the property had been sold to Washington and Jefferson College.
