History
KZCH is a successor to heritage Top 40 KKRD (See KTHR), who they replaced in June 2004. Prior to that, the 96.3 signal was Classic Rock KRZZ, which began airing in 1985.
The first personality to debut on KZCH was Wichita native "HaZe", who held down the night shift from 7PM-Midnight. He later moved on to Sinclair Broadcasting's former CHR WZNR in Norfolk, Virginia. He is currently at KNOU in St. Louis.
When the station began, the station leaned heavily on rhythmic material. In 2006, the station readjusted towards a more mainstream direction. In 2009, the station would lean rhythmic again, and also mixed in old school. The move was to counter Rhythmic Top 40 rival KDGS, who is the lone Rhythmic CHR station in the market.
