[edit] Station history
KMZT signed on in 1947 adopting the call letters of KGIL airing a big band music format. KGIL aired other formats including talk until 1993.
In 1995, it was known as KJOI, playing Adult Standards music. In 1995, it became K-NEWS, simulcasting with XESURF (then with call letters XETIN) and now-defunct KNNZ in Costa Mesa. K-NEWS was an all-news radio service with content from the Associated Press and local announcers Peter Arbogast, Jim Roope, and H.K. Malay. K-NEWS was also the home of the Los Angeles Clippers and had an unprecedented 8 traffic reports an hour, causing competitors KNX and KFWB to add more traffic reports to its lineup. In 1997, the station reverted to the KGIL call letters and hosted an all-Beatles lineup for seven months. The station then switched to showtunes before going to a mainstream jazz format, with the call letters KJAZ, in 2000. Then, in 2002, it took on the call letters KSUR and began broadcasting an adult standards format, changing its call letters to KKGO in 2005. [1] On December 1, 2006, KKGO changed to a country music format, filling the void left behind when KZLA became rhythmic adult contemporary KMVN earlier in 2006. On February 26, 2007, KKGO moved their country music over to 105.1 FM, and 105.1 KMZT moved their Classical format to 1260 AM.
