WHIZ-FM (92.7 FM) — Z92 — is a radio station broadcasting a Top 40 format. Licensed to South Zanesville, Ohio, USA. The station is owned by Southeastern Ohio Broadcasting Systems (WHIZ Media Group).
WHIZ-FM was previously broadcast on 102.5 FM. On October 17, 2008, the WHIZ Media Group announced the purchase of WCVZ (92.7), allowing 102.5 FM to move out of the Zanesville area.
Under a local marketing agreement, WCVZ then simulcast WHIZ-FM's adult contemporary music format in preparation for this move until December 7, 2008, when WCVZ assumed WHIZ-FM's identity as "Z92," and WHIZ-FM became "Highway 102," featuring an automated country music format.
When 102.5 FM moved to its new location serving Baltimore, Ohio, it took the WCVZ call sign from 92.7, allowing 92.7 to use the WHIZ call sign.
Former owner Christian Voice of Central Ohio continues to serve the Zanesville area on newly acquired WZNP (89.3 FM) licensed to Newark, Ohio, a part of the company's "Promise Network". The WCVZ calls remained with WHIZ Media Group, and were used on 102.5 FM until December 23, 2010, when local marketing agreement operator Fun With Radio, LLC's WWCD calls were moved to the frequency.
On October 2, 2014, Z92 transitioned from a Hot Adult Contemporary format to Top 40 playing "more hit music" than their previous format. thumb|Studios on Downard Road, Zanesville, Ohio
