98.1 and WGST 720, but operated separately from the Atlanta cluster. Prior to 2009, WRZX (then WCOH) aired a

format branded simply as "1400 WCOH." The WCOH callsign stood for City Of Homes, which is Newnan's slogan for being home to many old homes from the Civil War era. On March 26, 2021, the station's tower collapsed in an EF4 tornado that had gone through Newnan early that morning. Because the station had no backup site, the station stayed off-air for a few weeks before placing a crank-up tower in the front of the iHeartMedia Newnan/WCOH transmitter site to temporarily transmit from. As of October, the station was still using the crank-up tower, and had not yet rebuilt the tower. In July 2021, the station changed its callsign to WRZX, leaving behind the 74 year old heritage WCOH callsign.
