History and Programming
WZOR or Razor 94.7 debuted on February 28, 2000 with the song "Head Like a Hole" by Nine Inch Nails. When the station debuted they did 94 days straight of just music. After that the very first DJ who was then Assistant Program Director Roxanne Steele. At this time sister station WAPL Program Director Joe Calgaro was running the station. It did not take long for Roxanne to then take over the station completely and become P.D. In 2005 then afternoon host Cutter became Roxanne's Assistant. In 2007 after Roxanne had left Joe Calgaro took over as Razor P.D. once again with the help from Cutter, but in late 2008 she was brought back this time as Promotions Director for both Razor and sister station WAPL. In March 2009 after Cutter had left, then WAPL Assistant Program Director Elwood took over the APD duties for WZOR as well. In late 2012 Joe Calgaro put in his resignation and moved to Milwaukee, WI to take over The Hog. Elwood was promoted to Program Director again for both stations and parent company Woodward Communications brought back Cutter to host afternoons and handle Social Media and music duties.

In 2001 The Kid was brought in. Over his tenure Kid had many different co-hosts including comedian Mike Merryfield and comedian Mike Prell. After Mike Prell left, radio morning veteran Bryan Scott or on the air he was known as Bill Ding became the co-host. Bill left in 2007 to go to competitor Y100 (country formatted.)
