Ownership

In March 2007, Denver-based Blue Point Media announced that it was set to merge with KEZQ owner Chaparral Broadcasting Inc. [3] Chaparral Broadcasting also owns four radio stations in Wyoming as well as three stations in Idaho.

Effective May 3, 2022, Chaparral Broadcasting sold KEZQ to Scott Anderson's Jackson Hole Radio, LLC for $150,000.

Station silent

In January 2008, the station temporarily went off the air. In their filing with the FCC, station management stated, "Station KEZQ'S antenna was damaged by an ice storm. Due to the remote location of the station's transmitter site, the antenna cannot be repaired/replaced until Spring." [4]

On July 18, 2008, the station owner filed the first of a series of requests to extend the existing STA order. The station's current stay-silent authorization is scheduled to expire on April 22, 2011.

Construction permit

KEZQ was granted an FCC construction permit on March 12, 2009, to change the city of license to Iona, Idaho, west of Idaho Falls. The frequency is changed to 93.1, ERP is decreased to 37,000 watts and HAAT is decreased to 440 meters. The construction permit expired on March 12, 2012.
