WZNE is a commercial radio station in Brighton, New York, broadcasting to the Rochester, New York area on 94.1 FM.

The station airs a modern rock music format branded as "The Zone @ 94.1". Programs currently heard on "The Zone" include Rovers Morning Glory, and Opie & Anthony afternoons as well as a daily 1990's themed segment called the "90's @ noon" hosted by the beautiful and spunky Danni.

When Entercom Communications closed on its purchase of WZNE and its cluster of sister stations from CBS Radio on November 30, 2007, the company ended up with nine FM radio stations in Rochester, which was three stations over the FCC-mandated single-market ownership limit of six FM radio stations in a medium-to-large radio market. As a result, Entercom put WZNE along with WFKL and WRMM-FM back on the market. In early May of 2008, the Stephens Media Group of Tulsa, Oklahoma agreed to purchase the three stations, subject to FCC regulatory approval.
