History
Classy 100.5 signed on in December 1991.[4]
The first call letters for the 100.5 frequency were WQTI, at the same time the call letters WQTR went to what is now WWFN-FM.[2][5]
WKSY played country music.[6]
Cumulus Media bought classic rock WHSC-FM 98.5, alternative rock WBZF 100.5, and WMXT. The adult contemporary format from WMXT moved to 100.5, while alternative rock moved to 98.5.[7] Later, the letters WFSF were used.[2] Formats on 100.5 FM have included adult contemporary and CHR. This station was once home to Bob and Sheri.
The WHLZ call letters, "Wheelz" name and country format once belonged to a station in Manning, South Carolina which eventually moved to Charleston, South Carolina and became WIHB.
On July 3, 2013, at 3 PM, WHLZ rebranded as "Nash FM 100.5".
