in a 1977 interview with radio broadcaster historian richard dunning krem was described as the first non network independent all music station in spokane . 2 krem was owned by king broadcasting of seattle for many years . through the late 1960s and into the 1970s krem was the chief rival of kjrb in the top 40 format before shifting to an album rock format by the late 1970s early 1980s . in 1984 krem tv sold krem fm altered the call letters to kzzu fm and switched to a contemporary hit radio chr format that september . 3 during this time the station used the slogans of kzzu the zoo and 93 zoo fm . part of the station s popularity stemmed from the 93 zoo fm breakfast boys morning show hosted by dave sposito and ken hopkins who almost exclusively discussed pop culture . kzzu has also hosted on air talents such as jamie patrick casey christopher sean rivers devin james steve hawk paul gray and jeffrey parker . in response to a primary competitor kcda kzzu shifted from the chr top 40 format to its current adult top 40 format on october 17 2005 . it now plays music ranging from adult oriented hip hop to pop . the new format reunited the breakfast boys with molly allen discarding the the breakfast boys moniker . dave ken molly and producer dan roberts host the station s morning show targeting an 18 to 49 year old audience . by 2008 kzzu had somewhat returned to its chr roots following the change of sister station keze from rhythmic top 40 to country as it added some rhythmic music during the evening hours while maintaining the adult top 40 format during the daytime as a form of dayparting . keze swapped formats with its sister station kxly fm in 2010 keze programmed an adult album alternative format until its return to rhythmic chr as hot 96.9 in 2011 which resulted in kzzu dropping most rhythmic music to avoid overlap with keze though it would retain some rhythmic tracks . mediabase and nielsen bds still describe kzzu as a hot ac but reclassified kzzu as adult top 40 when kzbd dropped alternative rock for chr . 4 translators edit broadcast translators of kzzu fm call sign frequency mhz city of license facility id erp w height m ft class fcc info k223an 92.5
