History

KZWF began life in February 2006 as KIBB, before changing call letters again to KZLN in March 2006, then finally KZWF in December 2007. As KZWF, it was originally on the air as "The Wolf," along with sister station KZWU. However, owner Connoisseur Media quickly determined that listenership was very poor, and began drawing plans to reach the capital city of Des Moines. KZWF and KZWU were granted construction permits to upgrade, which would allow the stations to be heard in Des Moines. This would bring a 4th country station into the market (behind KJJY, KHKI, and KXIA. Since the CP was awarded, the two stations have been bouncing on and off the air, usually after Special Temporary Authority granted by the Federal Communications Commission expires. The latest STA issued states that KZWF could not remain on the air due to "The Potential for Localized Reception Interference," as well as to finish preparations to increase transmitter power.
