WKZB (95.1 FM, "95.1 The Buzz") is a classic hits music formatted radio station broadcasting in the Meridian, Mississippi, Arbitron market. In one form or another, WKZB had been the heritage top 40 station of the market for over 20 years. Currently the station broadcasts on 95.1 but originally broadcast on 101.3 (then branded as Q101). WKZB's original city of license was Meridian, Mississippi but with the move to 95.1 it became Marion, Mississippi. URBan Radio Broadcasting purchased the radio station from Clear Channel in 2007 and was sold to New South Communications in September 2011.

Following a ratings slump, in 2008, WJDQ changed formats from Top 40 to a new "mix" format which blended both the Hot AC and Adult album alternative formats. Today, the station is closer to a Modern AC format than its original Top 40 format. WJDQ also slightly altered its moniker, becoming "95Q" rather than its previous incarnation as "Q951" and debuted a new logo to go along with the new format.

On September 9, 2011 WJDQ changed their format to classic hits, branded as "95.1 The Buzz". [1]

On September 26, 2011 WJDQ changed their call letters to WKZB.
