History

The station signed on June 11, 1996, as KQSY, the FM sister station to KCFO. Initially airing a simulcast of KCFO's programming, the station would later flip to Christian rock. [2] After the station was sold, the station flipped to modern adult contemporary as KMRX in November 1997. [3] KMRX reverted back to Christian rock in February 2001. On July 11, 2002, KMRX flipped to rhythmic contemporary as KTBT, "101.5 The Beat." [4] [5]

On September 23, 2005, at 5 p.m. KTBT moved to the much stronger 92.1 FM frequency in order to better compete with 106.9 KHITS. KTBT's former home on 101.5 FM adopted the "La Preciosa" brand featuring Spanish oldies music, along with the KIZS call letters that were moved from 92.1 FM.

KIZS is licensed by the FCC to broadcast in the HD hybrid format. [6] [7]
