Licensed as KNOI in 1983, this station was assigned the KAZZ call letters by the Federal Communications Commission on April 1, 1986.[1]
The station featured veteran 1970s Y-100/Miami DJs, Mark In The Dark, and Big Al and also included local radio veterans JP Bzet and Dean Jaxson. It is also a former Radio AAHS affiliate.
According to the FCC records, the station went silent on June 4, 2008, and on June 16, 2008, applied for special temporary authority to "remain silent" which was granted on July 9, 2008.[3] The reason given in the application was "A secured creditor has seized transmitting equipment necessary to the operation of the station." Per the FCC notification, the broadcast license of KAZZ would have automatically expired as a matter of law if broadcast operations did not resume by 12:01 a.m. on June 5, 2009.
In May 2009, an application was filed with the FCC for the involuntary assignment of the KAZZ broadcast license from Proactive Communications, Inc., to Nancy L. Isserlis acting as receiver for KAZZ. The transfer was approved by the FCC on May 15, 2009, and the transaction was consummated on the same day.[4] The station resumed broadcasting in June 2009 with a classic hits music format branded as "K-HITS".[5]
KAZZ programming is also carried on a broadcast translator station to extend or improve the coverage area of the station.
