History
Lakes 99.3 (KSTQ)

In December 1998, the FCC canceled the license of 3 radio stations: KSTQ Alexandria, KMSR Sauk Centre, and KMGK Glenwood. The station was purchased by Paradis Broadcasting in 2000 at which time the call letters were changed to KXRZ.
Z99 (KXRZ)
In February 2000, Paradis Broadcasting began broadcasting Z99 on a Hot Adult Contemporary satellite feed from Jones Radio Networks. until December 2008, due to the purchase from Triton Media Group. Jones Hot AC was then relocated into Dial Global's portfolio replacing "Bright AC".
