Fort Worth/Denton/Gainesville/
KFZO (99.1 FM), branded as ZonaMX 99.1, is a Regional Mexican formatted radio station. This station serves the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex, and is owned and operated by Univision Radio. The station's studios are located along the John W. Carpenter Freeway in the Stemmons Corridor of Northwest Dallas, and the transmitter is located north of Decatur.
KDXX is not licensed by the FCC to broadcast in the HD (digital hybrid) format.
The station began broadcasting as KWDC on September 15, 1988, playing Jazz music. Less than a month after the station went on the air, owners Bill Mercer and Fred Graham sold it to Larry Greene, who changed the callsign to KJZY ("Jazzy 99.1"). In 1991, KJZY made an unusual move for a commercial station: they developed "Operation Jazzy" to help save the station by soliciting listener donations. Some $25,000 was raised, which was only a small portion of the needed $150,000. By December, the station went dark and was sold. In December 1992, the station went back on the air as KDZR ("Z-Rock 99.1 FM"), playing Rock music from ABC Radio Network's Z Rock satellite feed, which was based in Dallas.
It was then purchased by Marcos A. Rodriguez, and flipped to KHCK ("99.1 Kick FM"), airing Tejano music, on February 1, 1995. The station was also simulcast on 107.9 MHz.
In 2004, the station was then sold to Hispanic Broadcasting (now Univision Radio). Less than a year later, the station changed names and formats to KFZO as a Cumbia station.
