KPCZ-FM's previous classic country format was introduced on October 6, 2014. KPCZ-FM had previously broadcast a Cajun music format since January 2012, which had in turn replaced an earlier classic country format under the station's previous KLEJ call sign. [2]

On February 28, 2022, KPCZ-FM rebranded as "Freedom 106.7". [3]

On April 1, 2023, KPCZ-FM dropped its classic country format (which moved to KSIG 1450 AM Crowley) and began stunting with nonstop Cajun/Zydeco music by Wayne Toups. [4]

On April 3, 2023, KPCZ-FM ended stunting and launched a classic alternative format, branded as "Planet Radio 106.7". [5]
