History
In 1968, the station
An early DJ was Bryan Norcross, on-air as Barry O'Brien,[3] who later became a well-known meteorologist for his coverage of Hurricane Andrew.
It switched its call sign to WTMS in 1997, WAOA in 2000 and WINT in 2003.
In October 2008, WINT flipped from an oldies format to an ESPN Radio all-sports format. On February 25, 2011, WINT went silent. On December 13, 2014, WLZR returned to the air, simulcasting sports-formatted WSJZ 95.9 FM. On April 1, 2015, WLZR split from its simulcast with WSJZ (which switched an active rock format). WLZR rebranded as "Sports Radio 1560 The Fan."
