[edit] History

The station began its broadcasting activities as KWDC in 1988 playing Jazz music. Less than a month after the station went on the air, the callsign was changed to KJZY Jazzy 99.1. In 1991, KJZY made an unusual move for a commercial station: They developed "Operation Jazzy" to help save the station by soliciting listener donations. $25,000 was raised, but fell way short of the needed $150,000. By December, the station went dark and was sold. In 1992, the station went back on the air as KDZR Z-Rock 99.1FM, playing Rock music from a satellite feed.

It was then purchased by Marcos Rodriguez and was rebranded KHCK 99.1 Kick FM, airing Tejano (or Tex-Mex) music. The station was also simulcasted on frequency 107.9.

In 1994, the station was then sold to Hispanic Broadcasting (now Univision Radio), Less than a year later, the station changed names and formats to KFZO as a Cumbia station.
