WLFZ is a country music radio station licensed to and serving the Springfield, Illinois market.
Formerly the home of Oldies-formatted "Cool 101.9", parent company Saga Communications changed the format of the 101.9 frequency on October 2, 2013. The Oldies format, as well as the 101.9 frequency's former WQQL-FM call letters, were moved to 93.9 and rebranded as "Cool 93.9". Concurrently, the old format of the 93.9 signal, 93.9 Abe FM, was moved to translator 101.1 FM (W266BZ-FM at 250 Watts). Abe FM's main channel broadcasts from 103.7 WDBR-HD2. As of 2016, Abe FM is now 101.1 The Outlaw featuring classic country. WLFZ's primary competitor in the Springfield market is 104.5 WFMB, owned by Neuhoff Media.
