KOZZ's studios are on Plumb Lane in South Reno, and its transmitter is atop Slide Mountain in New Washoe City.
It later adopted the newly created "Superstars" album-oriented rock (AOR) format designed by the programming consulting firm of Burkhardt, Douglass and Associates.
After allowing its disc jockeys to choose their own music, the station now only played the top cuts from the biggest selling rock albums.
With its new, more accessible 'hit'-oriented programming, it featured popular personalities including Bruce Van Dyke, Daniel "The Sarge" Cook, Steve Funk, Chris "ZZ" Davis, Butch Johnson and later, Harry "The Happy Boy" Reynolds, Diane Michaels, Andy Schuon and Max Volume.
[citation needed] In 2023, afternoon host Chris Payne was promoted to the role of program director of both KOZZ and sister station KDOT, after the departure of Jave Patterson.
