WCZZ (1090 kHz) is a daytimer AM radio station licensed to Greenwood, South Carolina, and serving the Lakelands area. It airs an urban adult contemporary format and is owned by Broomfield Broadcasting, Inc. The studios are on Montague Avenue in Greenwood.

By day, WCZZ is licensed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to broadcast at 5,000 watts non-directional, and 2,250 watts during critical hours. But because 1090 AM is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A stations WBAL Baltimore, KAAY Little Rock and XEPRS Tijuana, WCZZ must go off the air at sunset to avoid interference.[2] Programming is heard around the clock on 250-watt FM translator W274CC at 102.7 MHz in Greenwood.[3]
