History

KIZZ-FM signed on in 1969. It was owned by Sunland Broadcasting Co. In 1972, the calls were changed to KLOZ (K102), and the station offered a country format. Mesa Radio bought KIZZ in 1975, followed by Jalapeno Broadcasting Company in 1979.

In September 1986, KLOZ became KPRR with a format patterned after that of KPWR/Los Angeles. It offers a more broad-based direction in its musical taste than most of the other Rhythmic Top 40 in the United States with its mix of R&B/Hip-Hop, Dance, Hurban and Rhythmic Pop fare.
