KFBZ is a radio station operating in Wichita, Kansas, and licensed to Haysville, Kansas as "105.3 The Buzz". The station airs a Hot AC format and it is owned by the Entercom Communications.
The station mainly plays music from the 1990s to present (with a heavy emphasis on recent music) and is the local affiliate for Kidd Kraddick in the Morning.
What is now KFBZ signed on the air on August 25, 1985 with an Adult Contemporary format as KXLK, and later evolved into a Hot AC direction as "Mix 105". In 1996, the station flipped formats to Smooth Jazz as KWSJ "105.3 The Oasis". This gave Wichita its first Smooth Jazz station since the late 1980s, when KLZS "Magic 98" (Now AC KRBB) left the air. In 2000, KWSJ moved its Smooth Jazz format briefly to KANR-92.7, then to 98.7 (Now Talk KFH-FM). This was to make room another Country station in Wichita: KWCY "Y-105". The format didn't last very long. In 2002, the Country format was dropped when the station started stunting playing theme songs to TV shows before finally flipping to an all-80s hits format as KFBZ "105.3 The Buzz". The station had great success with this format. In 2003, KFBZ evolved into its current Hot AC format. In 2007, KFBZ aired Christmas music for the holiday season. However, the following year (and years following), the station did not play Christmas music.
