We are bringing The Hotline back to keep everyone updated on what is happening on W3Z

W3Z is celebrating Over 20 years !! (Almost 25)

The station was offically launched back in 1998. .

W3Z Announcement !!

W3Z has returned to Live365 (Where we origionally started).

In 1999 W3Z joined Live365 and started doing Live Broacasts on a regular basis. by 2000 W3Z had tranitioned into a 24/7 Station.

But in 2014 W3Z decided to part ways with Live365 due to some of the restructures in their network. Shortly after Live365 decided to

shut down their operation. W3Z was re-launched on Radionomy from 2015 till 2019.

Live365 restructured their network and was reformed under New Ownership and relaunched in late 2019.

W3Z has now Returned to Live365 and broadcasts once again 24/7

W3Z Donation Buttons

Hey everyone, we added some Donation Buttons to our site recently.

We try to keep W3Z as a free service for the most part but it does cost us money to run the station and site.

So we added a few Donation Buttons if you would like to contribute a few dollars it would be much appreciated.

Plus we are working on some other ideas to help with the costs to run the station as well.
