History

The station began broadcasting as KSPR on July 15, 1966. It was owned by Autus Johnson and broadcast during daylight hours only with 500 watts. [3] [4] The station license was transferred to Johnson Communications, Inc., in 1969, shortly before Autus's death. [4] The station increased power to 1,000 watts in 1979 [4] and changed its call sign to KQXK on November 17, 1980. [4]

In March 1991, Moran Communications of Wichita Falls, Texas, took KQXK and KCIZ-FM off the air after a dispute over a mortgage. The stations were then bought by Westark Broadcasting, which installed easy listening formats on both of them. [5] By 1994, the station was broadcasting a Spanish-language format; [6] it then changed its call sign to KZRA that September; the station was known as La Zeta The station's ownership changed several times in the late 1990s. It was owned by the Power Radio Group [7] and Hochman Communications before Cumulus Media acquired the Power cluster in 1998. [8] The station switched call signs with KYNG (950 AM) in Denison, Texas, in 2005. [9] When La Zeta moved off 1590, the station changed names twice, first to La Más Bonita and then to La Máquina Musical, primarily airing Regional Mexican music. [10]

The station switched formats to sports in 2016.
