History

The station was assigned the call sign KBOG on February 19, 2008. On July 20, 2009, the station changed its call sign to KAGZ. [4] KAGZ (first as "Z93.9", then as "Z97.7") was broadcasting a Classic Hip Hop and R&B, owned by E-String Wireless, prior to the sale of the facility to the ERFET.

On July 22, 2022, the station changed its call sign to KGFZ, reflecting the change in format, after beginning a simulcast of "Fuzíon" programming based in Tyler.
