WZHD (97.1 FM) is a classic rock-formatted radio station licensed to Canaseraga, New York, United States. It serves the Hornell/Dansville area and simulcasts programming from WQRS (98.3 FM), serving the Elmira, New York radio market. The station is owned by Seven Mountains Media.[2][3]

On July 3, 2020, WZHD, along with its then-simulcast partner WPHD (96.1 FM), changed their call letters to WOBF and WCBF respectively, and flipped to country as "Bigfoot Country 95, 96, & 97", with both stations trimulcasting on WQBF. This was part of a five station format swap that was done by Seven Mountains Media, the owner of WOBF.[4]

On June 18, 2021, WOBF changed their call letters back to WZHD and switched from a simulcast of WCBF back to a simulcast of classic hits-formatted WPHD (98.7 FM).[5]

On October 1, 2024, WZHD changed their format from a simulcast of WPHD to a simulcast of classic rock-formatted WQRS 98.3 FM Salamanca, branded as "The G.O.A.T.".[6]
