KFZO (99.1 FM), branded as "Radio La Kalle", is a reggaeton formatted radio station. This station serves the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex, and it's owned and operated by Univision Radio.

History

The station began its broadcasting activities 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. $25,000 was raised, but fell way short of the needed $150,000. By December, the station went dark and was sold. In 1992, the station went back on the air as KDZR "Z-Rock 99.1FM", playing Rock music from [ABC Radio|ABC Radio Network] 's Z Rock satellite feed.

It was then purchased by Marcos Rodriguez and rebranded KHCK "99.1 Kick FM", airing Tejano (or Tex-Mex) music. The station was also simulcasted on frequency 107.9.

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.

In 2006, the station added on-air radio personalities; Jesus, Stephanie Marie, and Little Danny, A yr later in 2007 Radio-Personality "DOMINO" enter as the after-noon drive dj.

The station is an affiliate of the Dallas Cowboys Spanish Language Radio Network. [ cite web|url=http://dallascowboys.com/dcradio.cfm|title=Dallas Cowboys on Radio|work=DallasCowboys.com]
