== History ==
WNZX was signed on by New Zealand Native, Gils Emilsson (as the call letters stood "N"ew "Z"eland "X", and X is 10 in roman numeral's as he was born on October 10, 1910). As he and his family moved to America, at the age 46 he signed it on. Later he purchased a radio station in Albany, NY and started the New Zealand Telecommunications of America (or NZTA pronounced, Nez-ta). In 1961 he purchased radio station, WERE-FM, and changed its call letters to WNZR-FM. As CBS grew weaker so did NZTA, as most of its affiliates were CBS. They deiced to sell WNZR-FM in 1975, as well as some of its stations, such as WBZA in Bangor, ME, KFK in Fresno, CA and KQXS(Then KNEW-TV) in San Antonio, TX. In 1984 Gils passed away, and the company was passed down to his two children Sturlaugur and Elisabet. In 1989, they repurchased WNZR-FM (Which had its call letters changed numerous times, when the bought it it was WAE) and changed the call letters to WGAV in honor of their parent. In 2009 they decided to sell WNZX to Kenny Broadcasting. They said they would keep a stake on WNZX. In 2012 they sold their stake as the two children moved back to New Zealand.
