History

Z-Rock, 1992

KRDJ signed on in June 1992 as KKZN, an affiliate of the Z-Rock satellite network. KKZN was a Cavaness Broadcasting station, co-owned with what was then KVOL and KVOL-FM as the first FM duopoly in the Lafayette market; Z-Rock 93.7 was effectively the replacement of the rock format previously heard on KVOL-FM before that station flipped to Urban AC in July 1992. At the time, KKZN was broadcasting with 34 kilowatts from a tower located off Highway 90 in southern Iberia Parish between the towns of Jeanerette and Glencoe.

Adult contemporary, 1992–1997

The rock format lasted only until November, when KKZN became KDEA, picking up the calls dropped in favor of KXKC by another New Iberia station earlier in the year. KDEA switched to hot adult contemporary as KD93.7 shortly afterward.
