History
The station first signed on in June 1958 as KIZZ.[2] It was owned by Coronado Broadcasters and was a CBS Radio Network affiliate. The station originally was a daytimer, powered at 1,000 watts, and required to sign off at sunset to avoid interfering with other stations on AM 1150. In the 1980s, it was given Federal Communications Commission (FCC) permission to broadcast around the clock, using 380 watts during nighttime hours. In the 1990s, the daytime power was boosted to 5,000 watts.
The station has gone through numerous formats over the years, including oldies, adult contemporary music, talk and Regional Mexican music.
