History
In January 1986, the FCC added 98.1 MHz to the table of allotments for Salisbury, Connecticut. Johnson Development Corporation, then owner of WKZE-AM applied for and was granted a construction permit in March 1988. The allotment was assigned the WKZE-FM call letters by the Federal Communications Commission on March 10, 1988. From that point, the construction permit was extended five times until the station was licensed in 1993.
In September 1993, the station was transferred to Willpower Radio, LLC so named for majority shareholder William J. Stanley. In early 2006, Willpower moved the station studios from Sharon, Connecticut to Red Hook, New York, where they remain today. In July 2009, Willpower, LLC acquired the translator W256BI, 250 Watts, 99.1 MHz, Red Hook, NY.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Every literary critic believes he will outwit history and have the last word.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“In history the great moment is, when the savage is just ceasing to be a savage, with all his hairy Pelasgic strength directed on his opening sense of beauty;—and you have Pericles and Phidias,—and not yet passed over into the Corinthian civility. Everything good in nature and in the world is in that moment of transition, when the swarthy juices still flow plentifully from nature, but their astrigency or acridity is got out by ethics and humanity.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“American time has stretched around the world. It has become the dominant tempo of modern history, especially of the history of Europe.”
—Harold Rosenberg (1906–1978)
