History

The 990 frequency was once home to KHVH until it swapped with Oldies KIKI-AM in 1993. They would drop Oldies for News in 1994, followed by a flip to country music from 1997 to 1999, a simulcast of KIKI from 1999 to 2001, and a flip to Business News in 2001, only to evolve into its current talk radio format by 2004. In 2008 KHBZ changed its slogan from "The Talk Station" to "Stimulating Talk Radio" On September 2, 2010, KHBZ took possession of the KIKI calls after the FM flipped formats from Rhythmic Top 40 to Ryhthmic AC.
