 The station's ratings struggled to make it in the top five; however, billing increased due to the new format.The station would then try to compete with WAZY in the late 80s by flipping to CHR as POWER 95, retaining the WKJM calls.The stint as a CHR didn't last long since the station was purchased in June 1991 by Marion-based Bomar Broadcasting and re-launched the station with a more mainstream AC approach and gave it new call letters as WEZV.
