The transmitter is off Breckenridge Road northeast of the area. == History == KUZZ was KAFY on 1490 kHz in 1947. It moved to 550 kHz in 1950. In 1958, KUZZ (then KIKK) first began broadcasting a country music format on 800 AM. In 1960, the station manager, a local country and western star named "Cousin" Herb Henson, changed the calls to KUZZ. In 1966, country music singer Buck Owens purchased the station and kept the country format. One year later in 1967, Owens also purchased the The station frequency. They simulcast a country music format to Central California. KUZZ's AM signal can extend over 100 miles, from the northern suburbs of Los Angeles up to Fresno, and between Barstow in the Mojave Desert to Santa Maria by the Pacific Ocean. When Owens purchased the frequency, he did not actually start playing country music. KUZZ and KZIN were sister stations and both played a country format but KZIN differed from KUZZ by playing more new country than KUZZ. With music formats on the decline on the AM band, people were not listening to AM radio as in previous generations. At this time, 970 AM KUZZ became a full-time 24-hour country station (before then, it had been known as a "daytimer" and would only broadcast during the day and turn off at night). They are owned by Buck Owens Production Company (which is controlled by the estate of country star Buck Owens) and the licenses are held by Owens One Company Inc. During that same time 800 AM was being sold to the Church of the Foursquare Gospel, which was headquartered in Los Angeles. KUZZ 550 AM is powered at 5,000 watts, using a directional antenna. KUZZ-FM The station is a Class B station with an effective radiated power (ERP) of 6,000 watts.
