History
The station began broadcasting on November 24, 1972, and held the call sign WLCL-FM, which stood for Lowell and Cedar Lake. WLCL-FM was owned by William J. Dunn and aired a full service format, with an assortment of community programming and local news.

In 1981, the station was sold to White Advertising Metro for $250,000. Later that year, its call sign was changed to WZVN. The community programming was phased out and the station aired an adult contemporary format, as "Z-107".

In 1987, the station was sold to Gracol Broadcasting, making WZVN a sister station of AM 1230 WJOB. In 1996, WZVN and WJOB were sold to M&M Broadcasting, a firm led by former Hammond, Indiana, mayor Thomas McDermott, Sr., for $5.3 million. In 2004, the station was sold to Radio One Communications, along with 103.9 WXRD, for $4.9 million. The station was purchased by Adams Radio Group in 2014.

Effective June 9, 2023, Adams Radio Group's portfolio of 18 stations and translators, including WZVN, was sold for $12.6 million.

WZVN is a member of the Indiana Broadcasters Association.
