History

The station launched on March 29, 1963, under the call sign KHOZ-FM. Throughout much of the 1970s and 1980s, the station ran an adult contemporary music format. In 1989, the station upgraded its format to contemporary hit radio under the call sign KWNQ and branding "WINK FM". Unfortunately, it was short-lived, and in Spring 1990, the station dropped CHR and flipped to its current country format, which also brought back its KHOZ-FM call letters.
