History

For years the station played an oldies format that played rock and roll hits of the 1950s and 1960s as "Cool 1450".

This station became "Funny 1450", as a comedy station, at 10AM on January 26, 2011; the last song on Cool was "Hello, Goodbye" by The Beatles.

On November 28, 2011, KWFM changed their format to Spanish adult hits, branded as "La Preciosa 1450" under new calls, KTZR.

On September 25, 2016 iHeartMedia announced that KTZR would flip to news/talk the following day. The new “Talk Of Tucson” will duplicate some of the programming of sister station KNST in different timeslots. The Glenn Beck Radio Program will add a live clearance on KTZR while continuing on KNST on a delay. Other shows that will air on KTZR include Trending Today with Rusty Humphries, The Savage Nation, Michael Berry, Rob Hunter, America Now with Meghan McCain, Ground Zero with Clyde Lewis, and Alex Jones. KTZR will also serve as the flagship for the new Tucson Roadrunners of the American Hockey League.[1]

On July 24, 2017 KTZR changed their format from news/talk to sports, branded as "Fox Sports 1450".[2]
