History
The station became the home of
Radio AAHS, a format that featured children's programming and music, in November 1994. After Radio AAHS discontinued operations in January 1998, Children's Broadcasting Corporation, the station's owner, needed programming for the ten CBC-owned and operated Radio AAHS stations until it could find buyers. In February 1998, KCAZ, along with the other nine CBC stations, became an outlet for "
Beat Radio", which broadcast electronic dance music 12 hours each night until late October 1998. On September 8, 2019, when
ESPN Deportes Radio discontinued operations, the station flipped to a Regional Mexican format. In January 2020, KCZZ became the third station in the market at the time to air a Regional Mexican format, after
KCTO flipped to
Radio Maria.
