Party 103.3's website and FB page were merged into the Wolf's page.

Ultimately the Zone in all of its incarnations failed and was killed off for an ESPN Radio clearinghouse on not one but two signals. And when it was at its "peak" the playlist was half 90s alternative. They'd play liners saying "support the new music revolution!" into Man In The Box or Evenflow, in 2006.

When they went more in favor of current music that was mostly wussy emo/girly pap or 700 artists that sounded like Nickelback, they literally didn't show up in the ratings.

It was 2013-14. They were playing "Royals" by Lorde literally like three times an hour along with shit like Gotye, Hozier, Passion Pit and Gnarls Barkley. And it didn't really stop until one of the mercy killings when 1470 was shut down and the terrible syndicated talk shows moved to 100.7 a couple of years later, although for some reason about a month before that they were playing harder music instead.

I don't live in or around Toledo, but in all my time going back to being a lurker almost 20 years ago, I have not once...not ONE time ever heard anything good about this Andrew Z. The guy seems to always be up to no good, something shady, a move shooter. I mean, when does he give it up and quit being such a snake?

At the same time they were playing non-rock artists they'd sometimes would be played next to Rage Against the Machine, Papa Roach, and different grunge acts. The playlist back then is probably similar to Alt 98.7 today. If the Zone still had the same style playlist today, we'd probably be hearing Billie Elish instead of Lorde.

On another note, Hot 97.3 played "Royals" back in that same period, often being played alongside their typical Gangsta Rap tracks and whatever songs DJ Kahled played.
