KAZR

KAZR (103.3 MHz) is a commercial FM radio station licensed to Pella, Iowa, and serving the Des Moines metropolitan area.

[3][4] On February 4, 1991, KDMG flipped to an adult album alternative (AAA) format with the slogan "Where The Music Comes First", similar to WXRT in Chicago or KBCO in Denver.

In the early 1970s, owner and program director Ron Sorenson had operated a station with those call letters on 94.9 FM, now KGGO.

[9] On August 1, 1996, KFMG flipped to active rock as KAZR, "Lazer 103.3", after Sorenson sold the station to Saga Communications.

[17] On April 1, 2021, KAZR launched a contemporary Christian format on its HD3 subchannel, branded as "Joy 102.1" (which is simulcast on translator K271CO (102.1 FM)).
