In March 2007, Denver-based Blue Point Media announced that it was set to merge with KEZQ owner Chaparral Broadcasting Inc.[3] Chaparral Broadcasting also owns four radio stations in Wyoming as well as three stations in Idaho.

The station is currently and temporarily off the air. In their filing with the FCC, station management stated, "Station KEZQ'S antenna was damaged by an ice storm. Due to the remote location of the station's transmitter site, the antenna cannot be repaired/replaced until Spring."[4]
