History
KRZZ has adopted many programming formats since sign on in 1959 as KYA-FM. The station carried a Top 40 format for many years, either in conjunction with, or separate from KYA-AM. In December 1979, both stations flipped to an easy album rock format titled "The New Easy Rock 93 FM". Within months the FM station became KLHT (K-LITE) while KYA-AM flipped to an oldies format. Two years later, the FM would regain its original call letters while flipping to an oldies format that lasted a decade. On March 27, 1994, at 5:30 AM, the station flipped to high-energy country music as "Young Country 93.3" with the new call letters KYCY. The station would add the -FM suffix in 1997 when the station began simulcasting on 1550 AM. In 2002, the station flipped to a hybrid Rhythmic AC/world music format as KKWV, "93.3 The Wave." On September 2, 2003, at 6 AM, the station joined in a simulcast with KBAY as "93.3 and 94.5 K-Bay". In 2005, the station was sold from Infinity Broadcasting (now CBS Radio) to the current Spanish Broadcasting System and flipped to its current format.
