The station at 93.7 FM first signed on in 1993 as WMGB, broadcasting acontemporary hit radio (CHR) format known as "B93.7".
On September 10, 2001, WMGB exchanged frequencies with WEGF, anadult contemporary (AC) station at95.1 FM.

A week later, on September 19, WEGF changed its call sign to WPEZ to match its new moniker.
From 2009 to 2019, Brian Roberts was WPEZ's program director and hosted theZ93.7 More Music Morning Show. Roberts left the station in November 2019 due to budget cuts at Cumulus, and in February 2020 he resurfaced at sister stationsKEHK andKSCR in Eugene, Oregon as their program director.[2][3]
