What is "wizz"

WIZZ ( A.M. 1520 kHz) is a daytimer radio station licensed to serve Greenfield, Massachusetts, USA. The station is owned by P. & M. Radio, LLC. It airs a locally programmed adult standards format, and plays the national AP news feed on the half-hour.

The station verifies signal reports by QSL card. At the top of the hour, WIZZ uses the same "V for Victory" time tone as WTIC in Hartford, Connecticut.

The station was assigned the WIZZ call letters by the Federal Communications Commission on February 1, 2003. The frequency originally belonged to WPOE (Poet's Seat Broadcasting) in Greenfield, which first went on the air in 1980 with an adult contemporary format. By 1985, the call had changed to WGAM, with a format of Big Band/adult standards.

Its owner and DJ, Phil D (Phillip Drumheller), was inducted into the Massachusetts Broadcasters Hall of Fame in 2010, and has been active in broadcasting for 60 years; he is the first inductee into the MBHOF to have had his career outside the Boston market.

The station streams its broadcast over the Internet from its website, as well as running its usual format 24 hours a day.
