At 5 p.m. on October 2 , 2009 , after almost fifteen years as a smooth jazz station , " V98 .7 " signed off . The last song on WVMV was the first song the station played , " Smooth Operator " by Sade . The station then briefly stunted by playing a montage of jingles and airchecks of WLLZ , claiming that " Detroit 's Wheelz " was back on the air , following up by playing " Welcome To The Jungle " by Guns N ' Roses . Halfway through the song , it was interrupted by the audio of Kanye West 's famous " Imma let you finish " scene from the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards ( with new station voiceover announcer Dr. Dave Ferguson responding by saying " Uh , OK . Then we 'll play Beyoncé . " ) , followed by Beyoncé 's " Sweet Dreams " , and officially flipped to Top 40 . Instead of revealing the name of the new format , WVMV was branded for that weekend as " 98-7 Takeover , " inviting listeners to register online and guess what the name of the new station was going to be . The winner of the contest would be awarded $ 1,000 , and the real name would be revealed at 8 a.m. the following Monday , October 5th . At that time , the station officially launched as " 98-7 AMP Radio " , modeled after sister stations KAMP-FM in Los Angeles , and WBMP in New York City . Unlike those two stations , WVMV did not start with 10,000 songs commercial free , instead offering commercial-free Mondays , which were discontinued in April 2011 . The station adopted the '' ' WDZH ' '' call sign on May 3 , 2010 . The " AMP Radio " format featured a tight rotation of mainly current hits , similar to Mike Joseph 's Hot Hits formatted stations of the late 1970s and early 1980s , which had been heard locally on WHYT
