Its transmitter is located off Route 651 in the Pinal Mountains, at 966 meters (3,169 ft) in height above average terrain (HAAT).
[3] In December 2007, 1TV.Com (John Low, president) reached an agreement to acquire KIKO (1340 AM) and KIKO-FM (then at 106.1 FM) from Shoecraft Broadcasting for a reported $1.025 million.
[4] Broadcasting & Cable reported that the deal called for a $50,000 escrow deposit plus $725,000 cash at closing, then an additional $250,000 upon the FCC's issuance of a construction permit allowing 1TV.com to upgrade the facilities of KIKO-FM to Class C3 and moved from 106.1 to 97.3.
The station was finally licensed on August 28, 2019, with a minor change to 30,000 watts with horizontal polarization only, which allows them to run with less transmitter power output at the expense of reception, especially in cars.
[8] On December 13, 2024, KIKO-FM changed its format from oldies to Regional Mexican, branded as "La Z 96.5" under new KZOM call letters.
