Channel Z 95.1 FM, formerly known as WCHZ, was Augusta's first radio station dedicated to new music and alternative rock. Operating from 1992 to 1996, it introduced the city and the larger CSRA region to independent artists, the Seattle sound, and local musicians, earning recognition and awards for its unique programming.
However, due to limited signal coverage, the station faced challenges in reaching a wider audience. In 1996, it underwent a format change and was acquired by Beasley Broadcasting, transitioning to a 1970s oldies station. Channel Z was known for its commitment to promoting originality and showcasing a diverse range of rock music, making it a beloved symbol of a time when radio prioritized the love and promotion of music and the artists behind it.
