KZWB is an FM station broadcasting from Green River, Wyoming on 97.9. The station signed on June 1, 2005. KZWB is owned by local resident Al Harris, who also owns KUGR and KZWB's two sister stations KYCS and KFRZ.

KZWB specializes in a classic hits format that plays music from primarily the 1960s, and 1970s, but occasionally plays music from the 1980s.

[edit] Signal

KZWB, like its sister stations, broadcasts from Wilkins Peak just outside of Rock Springs, Wyoming in Sweetwater County. The station shares tower space with KFRZ but does not broadcast 100,000 kw. Instead, carrying a 10,500 watt signal to protect a station in Utah, the signal reaches the majority of Sweetwater County, and begins to weaken near Rawlins to the east, and Mountain View to the west. The signal reaches into parts of northeastern Utah, and as far north as Pinedale.

[edit] Translator

KZWB can also be heard on a translator station K290BJ, which is on 105.9 FM and broadcasts from Wilkins Peak as well. The translator station only broadcasts 13 watts.
