"'''Smooth Jazz 107.5'''" is an
Atlanta Radio Station that plays
Jazz . It has
Roswell, Georgia as its
City Of License .
The original
Callsign was when the
Construction Permit was issued at the beginning of
October 1996 . This was in anticipation of "Hot 97.5" (
WHTA FM, now
WPZE FM) also
Simulcast ing north of
Atlanta as "'''Hot 107.5'''". (Banners had in fact already been printed with both numbers.) In early
February 1998 , around the time it went on the air, it instead became '''WAMJ''' FM,
R&B "'''Majic 107.5'''". In late
June 2001 , that format and the
WAMJ callsign were sent to also-new 102.5, and 107.5 then became WJZZ-FM "Smooth Jazz 107.5". WHTA instead then moved entirely to "Hot 107.9" a couple of years later.
This new station is the result of
FCC Docket 80-90 , as is 102.5. Originally won and built as a
Class A by
Dogwood Licenses , it is now a class C3 owned outright by
Radio One , via
Subsidiary ROA Licenses,
LLC (Radio One Atlanta). The
Transmitter site is in the
Perimeter Center area near
Perimeter Mall , between
Sandy Springs and
Dunwoody .
W298AA , a
Broadcast Translator for
WMBW in
Chattanooga , also had the same frequency, city of license, and general transmitter location as this station from
1980 (permit) or
1981 (license), until being forced off the air by this new station.
The call letters WJZZ originally belonged to an FM station in as program director. In 1964 it switched to broadcasting the "Top 100" — the 100 most popular classical performances according to a list compiled by, among others, composer
Leonard Bernstein .
