Caz! is a Dutch commercial radio station that started on April 18, 2006 at 06.00 using the frequencies formerly used by Yorin as Yorin FM. Due to disappointing results, RTL Group sold Yorin FM in 2006 to SBS Broadcasting who relaunched it under the Caz! brand. SBS chose the name Caz! from a list of hundreds of potential names. The name Caz! was eventually chosen because it contains no abbreviations.

Caz! targets the 20 - 34 age group with Pop, Dance and Urban music. The station is noted for its non-stop music programmes played mostly over the weekend. These programmes include "Welcome to your weekend mix!", "Blended" and "Non Stop".

In May 2007, SBS Broadcasting sold the Caz! radio station to Arrow Classic Rock. Arrow started broadcasting their own station on the Caz! FM radio frequencies on 30 June 2007. Hence, as of this date, Caz!, will not be available over the air although from 10 July 2008 till 10 March 2009 Caz! had broadcast on the 828 kHz AM from a transmitter in the Netherlands at Heinenoord, south of Rotterdam. On this transmitter Arrow Classic Rock is now broadcasting from 11 March 2009.

There is however, the option to listen to Caz! via cable, satellite or their official website.
