KGRZ (1450 AM, "Griz Sports 1450 and 92.7") is a radio station licensed to serve Missoula, Montana, United States.
On June 3, 1946, Western Montana Associates applied for a construction permit to build a new radio station in Missoula on 630 kHz.
[10] On November 21, the station returned to the air with new KGMY call letters and a religious and "good" music format.
During this time, morning host Dan Sollom—who, like Ingstad, was a Grand Forks native—did a regular North Dakota "joke of the mornin'" on his show.
[17] KGRZ and KDXT were sold to Wind Point 1970 Holding Company, which was owned by the S.C. Johnson family, in 1982.
[21] The country format's second stint lasted until 1991, when the station flipped to jazz music as "Lite Jazz 1450"; the unusual format for an AM station was intended to revive it and also a recognition that KYSS-FM 94.9 had taken most of the country audience in the Missoula market.
[27] Effective June 17, 2022, Cherry Creek Radio sold KGRZ as part of a 42 station/21 translator package to Townsquare Media for $18.75 million.
