[edit] History

KFZX began operations as KCDQ back in 1990 playing mainly a classic rock format. In 1998, KCDQ (along with sister stations KMRK, KCRS (AM and FM), and KCHX were bought by Clear Channel Communications and it's call letters were changed to the present KFZX. Along with the purchase of the station came an affiliation agreement with The Bob and Tom Show and a change in format to a mix of more contemporary and alternative rock with a mix of classic fare and (for many years) going by the slogan "The Basin's Absolute Rock. 102.1 FZX" (similar to sister station KFMX

In December 2007, the station's format began another overhaul with its format being changed back to a classic rock format shortly after being purchased by Gap Broadcasting that August. (It's slogan basically remained the same except for a slight change from "absolute rock" to "classic rock" FZX.

[edit] Jack FM

On March 1, 2008, KFZX began another format change to the current Jack FM without much warning. With the change also drew an end to the affiliation deal with The Bob & Tom Show.
