It is owned by Stephens Media Group, through licensee SMG-Spokane, LLC, and airs a Top 40 (CHR) radio format.

KZBD carries "Elvis Duran and the Morning Show" in AM drive time, syndicated by Premiere Networks.

KZBD has an effective radiated power of 100,000 watts, the maximum output for non-grandfathered FM stations.

[3] In July 1965, the father-son team of Loren (father) and Terry W. (son) Denbrook, doing business as Denbrook Enterprises, was granted a Federal Communications Commission construction permit to build an FM station in Spokane on 105.7 MHz using the call sign KTWD.

[6] In 1970, Denbrook Enterprises sold the station to Bellevue Broadcasters, which changed the format to easy listening and the call letters to KEZE-FM.

(Clear Channel has since become iHeartMedia, Inc.) On May 8, 2014, KZBD once again became Spokane's only Top 40/CHR when KIXZ returned to country music (they have since switched to alternative as KFOO-FM).

On September 30, 2019, the station was sold to Stephens Media Group after it acquired most of the properties of former owner Mapleton Communications.
