History
KBZT-FM "K-Best" signed on the air in August 1987 with a syndicated adult standards format. The call letters had been scooped up on October 2, 1986, from the Los Angeles station that dropped them to become
KLSX just days before. On February 17, 1992, KBZT-FM flipped to country music, citing the high popularity of country nationwide and the lack of a local country station on FM.
The country music came to an end on October 1, 1993, when the station became a simulcast with 1400 AM as KUNA-FM. The flip came about even though KBZT outrated KUNA at the time.
