The owners eventually got permission from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to move the station closer to Oklahoma City to improve its value, with the ability to sell advertising in the more lucrative, larger radio market. The transmitter was relocated northwest of Oklahoma City, with the city of license changed to the suburb Mustang, Oklahoma.
99.7 previously aired an oldies format as KZLS “True Oldies 99.7." It switched to its current format of Classic Country in late September 2013, using Envision Radio Networks' Hank FM branding.
