History

KBLZ received a construction permit in 1998 (as KBKV) and signed on March 2000 with its current call set. KAZE, whose sign-on was in 1989 (as KWSK, licensed previously to Daingerfield), have been simulcasting their format since 1999. This format has a Hip Hop/R&B music lean but also incorporates Rhythmic Pop/Dance into the mix, the only station in Tyler and Longview to do so.
