KWIZ was a radio station in Santa Ana, California, on 1480 kHz, with a sister FM station, KWIZ-FM, on 96.7 MHz. KWIZ operated with 5000 directional day and night. KWIZ-FM was a "class A" FM station operating from Orange, California with 3 kW. Before switching to an ethnic Asian format, KWIZ-FM was a leased-time station that rented airtime to organizations and individuals interested in broadcasting their own programming. In addition to many religious and ethnic talk programs, KWIZ-FM also was home to several niche format music programs, including reggae, alternative, and surf-rock. At night, the station's time was leased to Renegade Radio, a dance music/techno format hosted by DJ Racer and former rave station MARS-FM 103.1 DJ Mike "Fright" Ivankay. Renegade Radio also broadcast MARS-FM music director Swedish Egils syndicated Groove Radio program, which later became a full-time local electronica format at 103.1 KACD/KBCD (now Indie 103.1). KWIZ was previously KVOE (Voice of the Orange Empire).
