It is one of five stations in Media One Radio Group's Ashtabula cluster, the others being WFUN, WFXJ-FM, WQGR, WREO-FM, and WYBL.

WZOO-FM is not connected in any way with WZOO, an AM radio station in Asheboro, North Carolina sharing the same callsign.

WZOO-FM was founded by John A. Bulmer, an experienced broadcaster who was awarded a number of FCC permits to construct new FM stations in Ohio, Indiana and Glens Falls, New York (Lake Luzerne).

In the early 2000s, when the station was sold by local owners, brothers Richard & David Rowley to Clear Channel.

The station remained Hot AC until flipping back to a Top 40 (CHR) format in September 2006.
