[2] WZPW, whose first owners were awarded an FCC license on October 17, 1990, originally signed on the air in November 1992 as urban contemporary WBGE ("B92"), but by the end of the decade, they would start incorporating Rhythmic pop, shifting the station's format direction.

In 2001, WZPW began expanding its format into the Bloomington area, where it was heard on WRPW.

In early 2002, WZPW upgraded its signal to 19,200 watts and moved to a new tower near Kickapoo, Illinois.

AAA kept WRPW, however, it later sold it and its sister properties in Bloomington to Great Plains Media.

On August 30, 2007, the Rhythmic format on WRPW ceased to exist as Great Plains Media relaunched the radio station with an FM Talk format as "Cities 92-9," leaving WZPW as the only surviving part of the previously-successful simulcast (Bloomington-Normal would pick up a Rhythmic again in 2018, courtesy of WWHX).
