History

This station first went on the air on September 9, 1973 using the call letters KTAN-FM, and it broadcast a top 40 rock and roll format. It was the sister station of KTAN AM and the first FM station in southern Cochise County. KTAN-AM-FM was owned by Ken Ferguson (Huachuca Broadcasting). Ken Ferguson died in a plane crash in 1977 and the station was sold, changing its callsign to KTAZ-FM to coincide with its use of Z-Rock as its music service. In 1989, under GCS Broadcasting, the call letters were changed to KFFN. The current call letters of KZMK were adopted in 1993 after the owners purchased a rival FM station that was using the call letters KZMK. That station is now KWCD.

KZMK was sold to DB Broadcasting in 1995, Commonwealth Broadcasting in 2000, and Cherry Creek Media in 2003. The station's most played songs include "Wonderwall" by Oasis, Gay Frogs Alex Jones Remix, Bring Me To Life by Evanescence, Are you There Vodka It's Me Chelsea, And the theme for "Sonic Underground"

gollark: That seems like a bizarrely specific issue we haven't encountered.
gollark: Just say "no unsolicited advertisement". It covers the sensible cases perfectly fine.
gollark: Additionally, please justify your decisions by reference to what actual problems you intend to solve and other things instead of by vaguely implying they're good because other servers do it.
gollark: Oh, you mean "fancy backward regexes"?
gollark: What do you mean a "scripting language"?
