History
During the 1970's, 1980's and 1990's, the station was known as KOEZ and aired a Beautiful music format. KOEZ's studios were located in Newton. They were consistently ranked in the top 10 in the Wichita radio market throughout the 1990's. After being purchased by Journal in 1999 and focused its audience to Wichita (as well as moving studios there), they flipped to an Adult Contemporary format as "Mix 92.3" and would later evolve to Adult Top 40. The station would change call letters to KMXW. In the fall of 2002, the station flipped to "92-3 the Zone" with an automated modern rock format. One year later, the station would revert to Adult Contemporary as "The New 92.3 FM." In September 2004, KMXW became a gold-based Rhythmic Adult Contemporary outlet as "Magic 92.3". All of these changes proved to be ratings failures. In January 2007, KMXW flipped to its current format. The call letters were changed to KFTI-FM.
