WZMX (Hot 93.7) Hartford

Hip Hop WZMX-FM (Hot 93.7) in Hartford is celebrating its 25th anniversary today with special programming reflecting on the station's history in the market. To mark the milestone, the station is airing an all-day retrospective featuring memorable interviews from the past 25 years, hosted by Jenny Boom Boom and DJ Buck.

"For the past 25 years, I've had the honor of working at the hottest radio station in CT! I still love doing my show every day," said Jenny Boom Boom. "Over the years, our listeners have become our extended family and I am so thankful for every one of them."

Longtime host Kid Fresh also reflected on his time with the station and one of his earliest memories in the market. "I can't believe you all have put up with Kid Fresh for the last 25 years," he said. Fresh recalled serving as "principal for a day" at a Hartford school early in his tenure in 2001, greeting students and sharing the importance of education. "Now, a lot of them have grown up, gotten their own education, their own life and their own families. It was a proud moment to be able to entertain but also inform and educate those young kids."

Hot 93.7 signed on March 16, 2001, featuring artists such as Joe, Blu Cantrell, Outkast, Alicia Keys, Jay-Z, Fabolous, Ja Rule and Foxy Brown. The station has since continued to focus on current hip hop and R&B hits from artists including Drake, Kanye West, Cardi B, John Legend, Travis Scott and Chris Brown.
