History
The station signed on for the first time in 1965 with the KGVB-FM call sign. KGVB-FM was owned by and aired a Christian radio format.

On November 16, 2011, Clear Channel announced plans to acquire KGVB-FM from Family Radio, with the intention of creating a full-power simulcast for their Top 40/CHR station KSBW-FM, KISS 102.9. The sale was completed on March 1, 2012.

Family Radio programming ceased on KGVB-FM at precisely Midnight on the morning of April 12, 2012; after about a half-hour of dead air, a continuous playing loop of "It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)" by began, likely a play on Camping's infamous rapture predictions. At 12:00 noon on April 14, the station changed its stunt to a "wheel of formats" — consisting of country music, all-, all-, all-dubstep, all-, mainstream urban, new-age music, soft adult contemporary, adult standards, all-Britpop, all-1980s hits, and classic alternative — branded as "Spin 105.3", with listeners being allowed to vote on the new format. However, at 5:30 pm on April 20, the announced result was "None of the above." The station then flipped to the intended simulcast of KSBW-FM, with both stations rebranding as KISS 102.9/105.3. In May 2012, KGVB-FM changed it's callsign to KFZP-FM.

On November 9, 2016, KSBW-FM/KFZP-FM began stunting with Christmas music as KISS-mas 102.9/105.3. On December 25, 2016, after playing "Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays" by, KSBW-FM/KFZP-FM returned to the KISS 102.9/105.3 branding, but adjusted their format to hot adult contemporary, adding in 80s, 90s and 2000s popular hits, along with various modern rock and mainstream urban tracks. The station, however, continues to lean towards mainstream Top 40 pop tracks.
