KZPS (92.5 FM, known as "Lonestar 92.5") is a radio station serving the Dallas/Fort Worth market in Texas. The station is owned and operated by iHeartMedia, Inc. (formerly Clear Channel Communications until September 2014) and airs a popular classic rock format.
The station's studios are located along Dallas Parkway in Farmers Branch (although it has a Dallas address), and the transmitter site is in Cedar Hill.
The station's current format also involves the dropping of conventional 30-second and 60-second ads in favor of sponsored hours with disk jockeys promoting sponsors conversationally.
The frequency debuted in 1948 with the KRLD-FM call sign. The station initially simulcast with Dallas station KRLD. The station was one of only three 24-hour FM stations in the Dallas market in the 1960s. A progressive rock format was instituted in the early 1970s.
The call letters changed to KAFM in 1972, and the station underwent a number of format changes through the 1970s and 1980s, including Top 40 as "Your Power Station Z92.5" as its current calls KZPS originated from as the J. Eric Johnson family (KRLD, Inc from 1971 to 1978) before selling it to Bonneville International in the Summer of 1978. 92.5 was flipped to classic hits in 1987 and jazz before settling on a long-standing classic rock format, bringing John Boy and Billy on board in 1995, with the station imaging being "Ninety Two Five KZPS, the classic rock station" but they were replaced by local Bo and Jim in the Mornings.
