He financed his own first single, " No Place for Me" the record was backed with "Lumberjack" written by Leon Payne, who was also a DJ at the station. īy the early 1950s, KVAN aired a country and western format Willie Nelson was one of the DJs. At the time, state law did not allow liquor advertising before 10 p.m., and that prompted the station to lose the advertiser. Despite being a Washington company running a station licensed to Washington, when the station took advertising from a Washington brewery, the Oregon Liquor Control Commission claimed jurisdiction over the station because the transmitter was in Oregon. For the station, that posed a regulatory problem. While KVAN's studios were in Vancouver, the transmitter had been moved to the Oregon side of the state line after going to 1,000 watts in 1947. The station stayed on the air during the 1948 flood of the Columbia River by hoisting its transmitter to the ceiling. Instead, three years later, the commission allowed the station to broadcast with 1,000 watts day and night. Two years later, Sackett filed to move KVAN to 930 kHz and broadcast at night for the first time, but this was denied by the FCC. Read retired in 1940, and Sackett bought back the shares the next year, KVAN was authorized for a power increase to 500 watts. The station initially broadcast with 250 watts during the day only it changed frequencies to 910 kHz in 1941 when NARBA took effect. Sackett, who promptly sold a majority share in the new outlet to its first manager, Walter L. It operated on 880 kHz and was built by Sheldon F.

WAKZ registered a 2.5 share in the Fall 2019 Nielsen Audio ratings, placing it well behind Cumulus Media’s “ Hot 101” WHOT-FM’s 5.8.
