History
The station started out with a country format simulcasting WUSZ 99.9 then became "Z-Rock" (classic rock) before switching to adult contemporary as "The Point". After becoming a Hot AC station as Mix 108 on April 1, 2002, the station gradually evolved to a format which is Top 40 (CHR) that it airs to this day. The station had aired Open House Party on weekends. Surviving competition from full-fledged Top 40/CHR station WWAX "92.1 The Beat" (now "Sasquatch 92.1") briefly, and later falling between the pop music spectrum of full-fledged Top 40/CHR KDWZ (now KDKE "102.5 Duke FM") and full-fledged Hot AC WWAX (as "Nu 92") Mix 108 serves as the Top 40/CHR station for Duluth-Superior area competing against AM 970 WDUL "Hot 98.1".
