The station is owned by Lazer Licenses, LLC and broadcasts a regional Mexican music format. History The station first signed on in September 1997 as KBZK and originally was licensed to Morro Bay, California. It was owned by Sarape Communications Inc., headed by Andrew James Fakas, and broadcast an adult contemporary music format.
