History
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.[3]
On October 9, 2014, a thief stole wire and components from the station's tower, however, was arrested and charged with felony theft.[4]
The station changed its call sign to WBGR-FM on January 4, 2016.
