Until December 2010, WEKZ-FM was known as "The Big Easy 93.7" for many years and had broadcast an adult contemporary format. Prior to adult contemporary, WEKZ-FM ran a beautiful music format as "EZ 93".

On January 14, 2013, it was announced in a joint press conference between Sly Sylvester and WEKZ-FM management that Sly would join the station after being laid off from WTDY.^[4]
