KQLZ (95.7MHz) is anFM radio station inDickinson, North Dakota, United States (licensed toNew England). The station is owned by Andrew Sturlaugson's P&A Media.[2][3]
The station was first licensed in 2008 as KCVD, eventually becoming KLTQ and then KQLZ. It operated at low power until 2019, when it fully launched as a classic rock station.
The station was first licensed in 2008,[4] and was originally operated at low power by the non-commercial Horizon Broadcast Network as KCVD.[5] Synergy Broadcast North Dakota bought KCVD andKHRY inBeulah for $65,000 in 2011; both stations weresilent at the time.[6]
In December 2012, theFederal Communications Commission (FCC) approved a move of the station, by then KLTQ, from New England to Beulah; its signal would reach the edge ofBismarck. KQLZ (the former KHRY) would in turn relocate from 97.9 in Beulah to 98.1 in New England and serveDickinson.[7] By February 2016, the stations had swappedcall signs and abandoned their relocation plans; Synergy Broadcast then sold KQLZ for $70,000 to Dickinson-Belfield Broadcasting, owner ofKXDI inBelfield[8] and part ofthe group of companies owned by Stephen Marks.[9] KLTQ was separately sold to DSN Radio, owners ofKDKT in Beulah.[8]
After temporarily simulcasting KXDI and upgrading the station's signal, the Marks Radio Group fully launched KQLZ in May 2019 with aclassic rock format.[4] Stephen Marks died on May 11, 2022.[10] Andrew Sturlaugson's P&A Media acquired Marks' Montana and North Dakota radio stations, including KQLZ and KXDI, for $850,000 in 2024.[9]
