01History
Signing on in August 1983 under the call sign KSMK-FM, the station started life with a Top 40/CHR format under the KISS-FM brand. The station dropped Top 40 in 1991 for adult contemporary under the call letters KZGL.
In 1996, the station dropped AC for classic rock retaining its call letters. Two years later in 1998, the station flipped its format to a modern rock music format branded as "The Z" with its slogan "The Total Rock Experience" (primary) or "We Just Suck a Little Less" (secondary). In 2006, the former KKLD call letters and "The Cloud" branding, moved its frequency from 98.3 FM to 95.9 FM and changed its format to a classic hits format.
