History
The station signed on the air on July 3, 1969.[3] Its original call sign was KKMA, sister station to KOLS 1570 AM (now KTUZ). KKMA was an automated country music station in its early years.
In the late '70s, the country format was dropped for album rock. KMYZ's studios moved to Tulsa in the early 1980s and its format evolved to classic rock by 1985. It later changed to CHR/Adult Top-40 as "Z-104.5". The station started leaning towards a rock direction in its CHR format beating then crosstown CHR rival KAYI (now KHTT).[4]
KMYZ-FM later evolved into a mainstream rock sound to compete against rival rock station 97.5 KMOD-FM. On February 27, 1995, the station changed to a Modern rock/alternative format as "Z-104.5 The Edge" which still airs to this day. On average The Edge hosts two to three annual concerts a year for Christmas and the station's birthday. Past performers have included The 1975, Death Cab For Cutie, Phoenix, Weezer, The Smashing Pumpkins, Cage The Elephant, Garbage and Young The Giant.[5]
