WEZX (106.9 FM, "Rock 107") is a commercial radio station licensed to serve Scranton, Pennsylvania. The station is owned by Times-Shamrock Communications, through licensee Times Shamrock Media, L.P., and broadcasts a classic rock format.

History

The station signed on for the first time in 1967.^[3] In the early 1970s, Times-Shamrock branded the station "FM 107" with a soft rock format. The format was changed to rock in 1980 and the station rebranded as "Rock 107".

In 2000, sister station WPZX began simulcasting WEZX programming, followed by WVZX (now WHNB) in 2007.^[3]

WEZX celebrated 30 years as "Rock 107" in 2010.^[3]

The station commenced digital broadcasting on August 15, 2011.^[2]

In May 2021, Times-Shamrock purchased WLGD^[4] and made it a simulcast of WEZX.^[5]
