[5] In March 1993, sister station WTLT (107.1 FM) in Circleville began simulcasting WWHT's signal and changed its call sign to WAHC.

[6][7] In an effort to again re-image the station, in early 1994 WWHT was changed to WAKS, "105.7 Kiss-FM", playing mainstream hits with a more adult lean.

Kiss-FM failed to become a viable competitor to top 40 leader WNCI due to WAKS' relatively poor signal and undifferentiated format.

Also late in the year, after a day of stunting with Ohio State University themes, WHQK flipped to urban adult contemporary.

Urban programming lasted until 1998, when modern rock-formatted WZAZ-FM (then located at 98.9 FM) swapped formats and call signs with WHQK.

On June 6, 2000, WZAZ-FM relocated its transmitter closer to Columbus and became WFJX, a classic rock outlet branded "The Fox".

On September 19, 2005, after a week of stunting again (this time with episodes of the TV series Cheers), The Fox relaunched as WBWR, "The Brew @ 105.7".

[18][19] On November 21, WWCD returned to terrestrial radio on the former WMYC, giving Columbus two alternative rock stations.
