WZIM (Classic Hits 99.5) is a radio station serving the Bloomington-Normal, Illinois. The station airs a classic hits format. The station signed on in late 2001 as WCSO, with the call letters quickly changing to WDQZ. It was a Classic Hits simulcast with WDQX in Peoria. In December 2005 WDQX was sold, and the simulcast with WDQZ was split. Since then the station has evolved into a more straight-ahead Classic Rock station. In September 2009 WDQZ stunted as an all TV theme station for a day and a half. On September 18, 2009 WDQZ changed back to a classic hits format.
Scott Robbins, longtime Bloomington/Normal personality, hosted mornings on The Eagle for many years, with two different co-hosts. In April 2007 Mancow's Morning Madhouse was added, and Scott moved to Afternoons, then off the station in August 2007 to host mornings on Cities 92.9. In February 2008 Scott returned to middays on the Eagle. The syndicated "Nights With Alice Cooper" serves as the night show.
On August 17, 2010 WDQZ changed their call letters to WZIM.
