History

KZWV signed on the air on October 2, 2006. The permit was obtained by Randy Wright, the general manager of KMIZ-TV, [3] doing business as Wright Communications, LLLP. 101.9 in Eldon had previously been occupied by KBMX, a soft adult contemporary station that closed in October 2001; its FCC license was revoked as a result of its owner being convicted on child molestation charges. Zimmer acquired KZWV in 2013 for $675,000. [4] In 2014, 2015, and 2016, KZWV was voted "Best Radio Station at the Lake" [5] for the third straight year by the readers of "Lake Lifestyles" magazine.
