KOZA (Texas)

KOZA (1230 AM) was a radio station broadcasting a Tejano music format, licensed to Odessa, Texas.

The Roderick stations—KOSA, El Paso's KROD and KSIL in Silver City, New Mexico, all CBS affiliates—formed a regional hookup known as the Southwest Network.

It retained the radio station another 11 years as its lone broadcasting property until KOZA was acquired by Kansas-based Harris Enterprises in 1979.

[9] Harris only owned the station for three years until manager Bob Russell, operating as Capital Communications, bought it out in 1982.

[11] While KOZA was made available in an auction at the Odessa Hilton on May 12, 1987,[11] it did not emerge until April 1989, when Mesa Entertainment bought the station and relaunched it with a Spanish-language music format.
