Demise
Labor disputes, along with declining advertising support, eventually brought an end to the classical music programming. The station was sold in 1994 to Westinghouse and its format was dramatically changed. Now it was known as KPIX-FM and AM. The AM/FM simulcasts ended in 1997, when Westinghouse sold KPIX-FM to Bonneville International, which changed the call letters to KZQZ. The AM station is now known as KZDG. The FM station is now known as KGMZ.
The KKHI call letters were revived in 1994 on what had been KTIM-FM and AM in San Rafael, California. The attempt to revive KKHI's classical music programming ultimately proved unsuccessful.
The Bay Area's main classical music outlet today is KDFC in San Francisco, California, a station which broadcasts on FM only. For many years there were daytime simulcasts on KIBE, a 5,000-watt station in Palo Alto, California.
