History
After applying in July 1989, this station received its original construction permit from the Federal Communications Commission on October 5, 1990. The new station was assigned the KSBZ call sign by the FCC on October 17, 1990.
On October 18, 1990, KSBZ launched with a classic rock and contemporary hit radio format. KSBZ received its license to cover from the FCC on October 21, 1991.
In November 1994, license holder Sitka Broadcasting Company, Inc., reached an agreement to sell this station to Alaska Broadcast Communications, Inc. The deal was approved by the FCC on December 7, 1994, and the transaction was consummated on December 31, 1994.
In 2000, KSBZ switched to a country music format. In 2006, KSBZ switched formats again, this time to an active rock format, before finally settling on a classic rock format a year later.
