UCentral Radio applied for an LPFM license in November 2013 and was awarded a construction permit by the Federal Communications Commission on February 24, 2015.

As to not disrupt the operations of an increasingly successful KCSC, faculty realized a separate facility was needed to provide students with radio broadcast experience.

As of September 1993, still no frequency allocations or funds were available in the Edmond or Oklahoma City area to apply for or buy an FM or AM license.

In the spring of 2006, KUCO rebranded itself as Z-100 (instead of Z-99) and flipped from alternative rock to a more student-friendly contemporary hit radio format geared towards 18 to 25-year-old students.

Known as "Ed 90.1, Today's College Music", the station carried an adult contemporary format as well as student-produced news and sports content.

After a few years, KCSC's HD transmitter failed on the secondary channel and not replaced; the student radio station was off air indefinitely.

In November 2013, the possibility of a student radio station returned when the FCC opened a filing window for low-power FM frequencies.
