WZNZ
radio station in Atlantic Beach, Florida
WZNZ (1600 AM) – branded Relevant Radio – is a non-commercial Catholic radio station licensed to Atlantic Beach, Florida. Owned by Relevant Radio, Inc., the station serves the Jacksonville metropolitan area but does not broadcast any local programming, instead functioning as a repeater for Relevant Radio's English language radio network. The WZNZ transmitter is located in Atlantic Beach.
On January 3, 2017, WZNZ changed their format from oldies (as "The Beach", format moved to WSOL-FMHD2) to business news, branded as "100.3 The Biz" (simulcast on FM translator W262AG 100.3 FM Jacksonville).
On April 6, 2018, "100.3 The Biz" rebranded as "Talk 100.3" with the addition of conservative talkers Hugh Hewitt and Laura Ingraham.
The station was sold to Immaculate Heart Media, Inc. in September 2019, and it became an affiliate of Relevant Radio.
On May 17, 2021, WZNZ switched to the English-language version of Relevant Radio.

Why this record matters
The phrase “radio station in Atlantic Beach, Florida” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7958351. Authority coordinates are 30.325, -81.430. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1600, 2017, 2018 and 2019.
Architectural summaries often privilege surviving fabric and can understate demolished phases, contested use or displaced communities. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
