KZTS (101.1 FM, "Streetz 101.1") is a radio station broadcasting an Mainstream Urban format. Licensed to Cammack Village, Arkansas, USA, it serves the Little Rock area. The station is currently owned by Flinn Broadcasting Corporation. The station's studios are south of downtown near Philander Smith University, and the transmitter tower is located on Shinall Mountain, near the Chenal Valley neighborhood of Little Rock.

On June 1, 1998, after a 10-day stunt with various genres of music, 101.1 FM signed on as modern rock-formatted "Lick 101" KDRE.[2]

According to FCC filings, the station went silent sometime around November 1, 2008, as the licensee was unable to negotiate an extension of the contract with the owner of the transmitter location. The FCC granted permission to remain silent while the station's owner put together the paperwork to move the transmitter to a new location. Since then, the transmitter has moved to a different location, the call letters have changed from KWBF to KZTS, and the format has changed from Rhythmic Oldies, to Adult Album Alternative, to the current Mainstream Urban format.

With the exception of the station being the Little Rock affiliate for The Rickey Smiley Morning Show, the station has no on-air personalities. Under its current format, KZTS's main competitor is longtime heritage urban contemporary outlet KIPR.
