What is now KFBZ signed on the air on August 25, 1985, with an adult contemporary format as "FM 105 KXLK", and later evolved into a Hot AC direction as "Mix 105".

In November 2000, after playing "How Do You Like Me Now" by Toby Keith, the Country format was dropped when the station started stunting by playing theme songs to TV shows before finally flipping to an all-80s hits format as KFBZ, "105.3 The Buzz", at 1:30 p.m. on November 17, 2000.

In January 2002, KFBZ morphed into its current Hot AC format, and the station began airing the syndicated Kidd Kraddick Morning Show on December 12, 2005.

In early 2015, the radio station moved to the Ruffin Building at 9111 East Douglas, formerly the Pizza Hut headquarters.
