Changes

In April 2014, station owner Way Broadcasting applied to change the station's community of license to Capitol Heights, Maryland.[5] The reason behind the change was the station's tower location in Falls Church, Virginia, was not renewed after more than two decades.[6] In June 2014, WZHF began broadcasting from a tower used by WJFK and WUST in Walker Mill, Maryland.[6][7]
