History

[edit ]

The station originally signed on 96.7 FM in 1992 as KCQV with an oldies format as "Kool 96.7". Kool 96.7 later changed its format. In 2003, the then-KVMI moved from its 5 kilowatt 96.7 signal to a new 25 kilowatt 103.9 frequency at a new transmitter site.

The move to 103.9 also encountered a format change back to oldies as "Kool 103.9". KVMI changed its format to adult contemporary as "Star 103.9" in 2004. The station has since changed to 103.9 "The Truck" and is a hot country format & features The Ben & Jim Show airing 7AM to 9AM Weekdays. The station changed its call sign to the current KZTK on March 13, 2014.
