KZPS (92.5 FM) is an iHeartMedia classic rock formatted commercial radio station licensed to Dallas, Texas, and serving the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex.
The transmitter site is off West Belt Line Road in Cedar Hill, amid the towers for other Dallas-area FM and TV stations.
In the late 1960s, the Federal Communications Commission began requiring AM-FM combos in large cities to offer separate programming much of the day; a progressive rock format was instituted on the FM.
However, AC station KVIL-FM also gained major success with a small mix of CHR as well, making it more dominant in the market.
Through the years, notable disk jockeys included Sam "Bo" Roberts and "Long" Jim White (still hosting the weekday morning show), Jay Philpot (middays, later in Baltimore), Jon Dillon (afternoon drive, until his release in 2012), Stubie Doak (nights), Pamela Steele (middays), Ed Budanauro ("Enerjazz" host from 1987 to 1989), Benn McGregor ("McGregor" - 1982–86 writer/producer, co-host of "Morning Drive" with Andy Barber 1984–1985), Jerry Vigil (middays, production director), Pete Thomson (afternoons), John Shomby (program director), and Paul Donovan (evenings).
On April 23, 2007, KZPS rebranded itself as "Lone Star 92.5", and adopted a Texas-themed classic rock/country rock hybrid format that was previously heard on 92.5-HD2.

In April 2008, when KZPS returned to classic rock, 92.5-HD2 switched to an adult album alternative format branded as "The Music Summit" (previously on KDMX-HD2).
