The station uses a 250 watt FM translator K279BP on 103.7 broadcasting from Sandia Crest in Albuquerque to air the format in stereo on the FM band as well as allowing it to be heard better during nighttime hours when the AM station runs at only 25 watts. Beginning in June 2013 KOAZ added another FM translator K240EC in Santa Fe broadcasting at 95.9.

The station signed the air as KABR by the Alamo Navajo School Board on 14 February 1984.
