WEUZ (92.1 FM) is an urban contemporary formatted radio station that serves north Alabama and south-central Tennessee, United States. Its programming is a simulcast of co-owned WEUP-FM. This programming is also simulcast on W222AK (92.3 FM), W275AA (102.9 FM), and W238AD (95.5 FM).

Ownership

In 1987, a married couple, Hundley Batts, Sr. and Dr. Virginia Caples, acquired WEUZ-FM (92.1 FM), licensed to Minor Hill, Tennessee, (just north of the Alabama border). This followed their assumption of the ownership and operation of WEUP (AM). They combined these operations and brought WEUP onto the FM broadcast airwaves.

They operated WEUP & WEUZ-FM under the parent company name of Broadcast One. They continued to expand the station's audience by acquiring WHIY (1190 AM) and WEUP-FM (103.1), both licensed to Moulton, Alabama, in 1989. WEUV (1700 AM) was later added to the group of stations that are part of the WEUP broadcast family.
