History
What is now KFBZ signed on the air on August 25, 1985 with an Adult Contemporary format as KXLK, and later evolved into a Hot AC direction as "Mix 105". In October of 1996, the station flipped formats to Smooth Jazz as KWSJ "105.3 The Oasis". This gave Wichita its first Smooth Jazz station since the late 1980s, when KLZS "Magic 98" (Now AC KRBB) left the air. In March of 2000, KWSJ moved its Smooth Jazz format briefly to KANR-92.7, then to 98.7 (Now Talk KFH-FM). This was to make room another Country station in Wichita: KWCY "Y-105". The format only lasted from March to December of that year. In December of 2000, the Country format was dropped when the station started stunting playing theme songs to TV shows before finally flipping to an all-80s hits format as KFBZ "105.3 The Buzz" on Christmas Day. The station had great success with this format. In 2003, KFBZ evolved into its current Hot AC format. In 2007, KFBZ aired Christmas music for the holiday season. However, the following year (and years following), the station did not play Christmas music.
