KEZO-FM (92.3 MHz Z-92) is a commercial FM radio station in Omaha, Nebraska. It is owned by E.W. Scripps Company. KEZO airs a mainstream rock radio format. Studios and offices are on Mockingbird Drive and the station's transmitter is off North 72nd Street and Crown Point at the Omaha master antenna farm.
Todd-n-Tyler (Mike Tyler and Todd Brandt) host the station's morning show, with the program syndicated to other radio stations. KEZO broadcasts the sports programming from its sister station KXSP on its HD Radio digital audio subchannel.
On May 15, 1961, the station signed on as WOW-FM, a sister station to 590 WOW (now KXSP). After initially simulcasting the AM station, it switched to broadcasting beautiful music. It become a Top 40 station for a short time in the early 1970s under the call letters KFMX. Then it switched back to easy listening music, and, in 1973, changed its call letters to KEZO, standing for EaZy Omaha. The station flipped to rock music at 9 a.m. on September 6, 1978, still keeping its KEZO call letters but using the identification Z-92.
Notable former Z-92 announcers include Otis XII of the group Ogden Edsl and his long-time partner Diver Dan Doomey. A popular long-running feature of their morning show was Space Commander Wack, produced by Ralph Caldwell who was also the voice of announcer Yerzik Narge. Other recurring characters included the Mean Farmer and Lance Stallion, Radio Detective. Some notable DJs include Chuck Yates, Joe Blood, Rick Setchell, and Tim Bourke.
