WBZS is an adult album alternative formatted radio station licensed to Shawsville, Virginia, serving Roanoke, Virginia and the New River Valley.[1] WBZS is owned by George S. Flinn, Jr. From its 2013 sign-on, the station was leased to Three Daughters Media, who simulcast the talk format of WIQO-FM Lynchburg.[2]

WBZS entered into a three-year lease to Community Media Group, owner of adult album alternative WVMP, on December 1, 2016.[3][4]

On February 1, 2018, the AAA format moved exclusively to WBZS, which rebranded as "102.5 The Mountain".[5][6]
