History
KZUH signed on as KILS on February 24 of 1993 with a country format.
In 1997, Goodstar Broadcasting bought the station and it was rebranded as "92.7 The Zoo", switching to a classic rock format. At this time,the station's morning show began to grow and become popular. "The Morning Zoo" with Phill & JJ was ranked #1 in ratings.
In 2001, Goodstar sold the station to Waitt Media, who kept the Zoo branding.
Waitt media merged with NRG Media in 2006.
Rocking M Radio purchased the station in 2007 and changed the call letters to KZUH.
In February 2009, the station flipped to sports talk as "92.7 The Fan." The station was an affiliate of Sporting News Radio, and then ESPN Radio. This format was well-liked among listeners, but due to low advertising revenues, the station made another change.
On August 12, 2010, at 5 PM, the station flipped to its current format as "92.7 The New Zoo." Initially, the station carried the satellite-fed "Hits Now!" format from Dial Global. A few months later, the station dropped the satellite feed and switched to a locally oriented direction with DJ's. However, in the Fall of 2012, the station switched back to Westwood One/Dial Global. In Fall of 2013, KZUH-FM became the #1 most listened to station in Saline County by males/females ages 18–49.
In June 2012, the station became an affiliate for "Sunday Nite Slow Jams", hosted by R. Dub. The 4-hour program plays current and old-school R&B music, along with listener requests. The station also airs the "Hot Mix", a weekend dance mix, on Saturday's from 8PM CST to Midnight.
The station airs local Minneapolis high school games.
