History
WEZM-TV began broadcasting on channel 65 on September 10, 1984 owned by Crossrow Broadcasting. It was one of the founding Cross Row owned stations WXRZ-TV channel 67 in Columbus, WMXG-TV channel 63 in Macon, WXAD-TV channel 57 in Americus, WAXW channel 60 in Augusta, and WEIV-TV channel 44 in Statesboro. In 1986, WEZM-TV became a charter FOX affiliate. In 1989, Pyramid Broadcasting bought Crossrow Broadcasting and forced to move all Crossrow stations (except WXAD and WEIV), including WEZM, to move to a lower UHF frequency because the company refused to own stations in the 60 to 69 channel range, causing WEZM to move to channel 37, WXRZ to move to channel 51, WMXG to move to channel 15, and WAXW to move to channel 44. In 1999, Pyramid Broadcasting was acquired by Castle Broadcast Group. In 2000, WEZM-TV became an ABC affiliate, ending its 14-year FOX affiliation. In 2004, WEZM began digital operations and launched Z3 Weather Radar on DT2. When analog television ceased operations on June 12, 2009 on all remaining full powered stations, Z3 Weather Radar moved to DT3, making a new simulcast of WDGX-TV/WEMX-TV on DT2. In 2010, CBS was added to DT2, moving a simulcast of WDGX-TV to DT3 and Z3 Weather Radar on DT4. In 2015, WEZM-DT4 became Telemundo. In 2016, Telemundo moved to DT3 for Z Channel to launch on DT4. In 2018, Fire TV on DT5 and Popcorn! on DT6 were added.
