KYSP (1340AM) is aradio station broadcasting asports format serving theWenatchee, Washington area in the United States. The station is owned byTownsquare Media.[2]
The station first went on the air in 1948. In the 1970s, KWWW was apop/disco station, than went to aTop 40 format in the 80s. In 1985, itsimulcasted KW3-FM when it was transitioning to its new FM position at 100.9. That lasted in until 1990, when it adopted a local news format, which lasted a few months. In 1991, the station changed to agolden oldies format.
The station changed formats again as KWWX on September 24, 1993, to serve Latino listeners in the Wenatchee community. In 2007, after Cherry Creek Radio's acquisition ofKPQ (AM) andKPQ-FM, it moved to 106.7 FM (formally KZPH) so it wouldn't conflict with The Quake 102.1'sclassic rock format.
On January 16, 2008, the station changed itscall sign toKZNW to reflect its new all sports format (as The Zone 1340), as an affiliate ofFox Sports Radio and theflagship station of theWenatchee Wild hockey team.[3]
