On July 3, 2020, WZHD, along with its then-simulcast partner WPHD (96.1 FM), changed their call letters to WOBF and WCBF respectively, and flipped to country as "Bigfoot Country 95, 96, & 97", with both stations trimulcasting on WQBF. This was part of a five station format swap that was done by Seven Mountains Media, the owner of WOBF.[4]

On June 18, 2021, WOBF changed their call letters back to WZHD and switched from a simulcast of WCBF back to a simulcast of classic hits-formatted WPHD (98.7 FM).[5]

On October 1, 2024, WZHD changed their format from a simulcast of WPHD to a simulcast of classic rock-formatted WQRS 98.3 FM Salamanca, branded as "The G.O.A.T.".[6]
