The station went on air February 14, 1956,^[2] as KGHM (for Green Hills of Missouri). The station was constructed by the Green Hills Broadcasting Company, which was owned by Ira Williams. George P. Williams became the owner in 1965; W-H Enterprises acquired KGHM in 1970; and the station was sold to Brookfield Broadcasting in 1974.

In 1980, the station was sold to Hampro-Wireless. Hampro ownership, while short, was consequential, as the company received the construction permit to build a new FM radio station to accompany KGHM. KQMO 97.7, nowKZBK 96.9, signed on August 17, 1981, simulcasting the AM station during the day and airing its own programming until midnight.^[3] Two years later, however, KGHM-KQMO went silent and remained so for a year until the station was sold to Dwight and Carolyn Carver in 1984.^[4] The resumption of operations of both stations was delayed into 1985 by FCC requirements.^[5] After the sale, both stations changed call letters: KQMO became KZBK, while KGHM became KGNG ("Good News of God") with gospel music.

Best acquired KGNG-KZBK in 1993. The two stations became KZBK-AM-FM, simulcasting Best flagshipKZZT inMoberly.^[6] The simulcast of KZZT ended in 1995 when Best completed construction of a new KZBK-FM facility at 96.9 MHz, and the two stations began carrying their own programming.

On January 15, 2002, KZBK AM became KFMZ. The call letters had been deleted three months prior froma station in Columbia whose license was revoked.
