[edit] History
KXNT-FM began in 1982 with the call letters KMZQ. KMZQ went through many changes over its 12 year run. KMZQ was known as "Q-100" and "Klassy 100." From 1995 to 2005, it has been known as Lite 100.5 FM. The first on-air personality was Ron Kirsh. Ron is still heard on the Las Vegas airwaves on KJUL.
On June 24, 2005, at 2 PM, after playing "Leaving Las Vegas" by Sheryl Crow, KMZQ began stunting with Christmas music; 45 minutes later, the stunt shifted to movie theme songs. At 3, Lite 100.5 became Jack FM, with a variety hits format. The first song on "Jack" was "No Such Thing" by John Mayer. Shortly thereafter, the call letters were changed to KKJJ. KMZQ-FM's call letters now belong to FM 99.3 in Payson, Arizona. However, KMZQ-AM airs on AM-670 in Las Vegas, which is a simulcast of KMZQ-FM in Payson.
CBS Radio has announced that starting August 16, 2010, Jack FM would be replaced with a simulcast of sister station KXNT, and would be known as "100.5 FM Newsradio KXNT".[2] At 5 a.m., on August 16, after playing the Talk Talk song "Talk Talk", referring to the news/talk format, the KXNT Legal ID kicked in, officially ending Jack FM in Las Vegas and starting KXNT on FM Radio.
