[edit] History
The station, which signed on the air on October 1, 1967, originally was an AOR outlet in its early days, but by the 1980s it inherited the Top 40 format from KKUA and would continue it into the 1990s.
But in 2000 it would switch to an All-80s & 90s format, as their format would move over to sister station KDDB. It was then known as "93.1 The Q". In 2005 they would return to Top 40 as "93.1 The Zone".
