History

[edit]

The station first signed on in 1948 as KSPA.[2] In August 1966, station owner Franklin James sold KSPA to Rancho Broadcasting, owned by television engineer William F. Wallace, for $120,000.[3] The following year, the station changed its call sign to KQIQ[4] and adopted a country music format, later switching to top 40. In January 1974, the station changed its call letters to KAAP, flipping to an all-news format by the end of 1975.[5][6] Rancho Broadcasting signed on an FM sister station, KAAP-FM (96.7 FM), in 1976.[7] The company sold KAAP-AM-FM for $1.2 million in late 1980.[8]

During the 1990s, the station was known as KKZZ and broadcast an adult standards format.[9]

In February 2013, KKZZ began airing Radio Fórmula, a Mexican talk network. In March 2017, it added an FM translator station at the 102.5 FM frequency. In May 2017, KUNX flipped to a regional Mexican music format with the moniker and the brand name "La Super X". On September 1, 2017, the station adopted the "Radio Bronco" branding.
