History

The station originally signed on in 1937 as KTMS.

In 1998, KTMS became KEYT, broadcasting as an all-news radio station. It aired news reports from the Associated Press and simulcasted newscasts from KEYT-TV. Facing financial trouble, Smith Broadcasting sold the station in 2003 to Lazer Broadcasting, who changed its call letters to KZER and its format to Regional Mexican.[1]
