History

KBZM signed-on in November 2003 at 104.5 in Big Sky. The owners had the opportunity to upgrade the station to a class C1 (2004) and in doing so moved the frequency to 104.7. KBZM serves all of southwestern Montana along with a portion of Yellowstone National Park. KBZM's sister station KKQX signed on in late 2005, airing the same format but more directly serving the population center in the Gallatin Valley. Both stations are branded as The Eagle and together are known as "Montana's Superstation," due to the extensive coverage provided by the two signals at 104.7 and 105.7.
