History

The station signed on the air in 1985;39 years ago. The original call sign was KZAM-FM. It had an adult album alternative (AAA) format. In late 1988, KZAM-FM changed to a satellite-fed “Pure Gold” oldies format.

In 1990, new owners changed the call letters to KAVE and started a new adult album alternative format as "95.3 The KAVE". In 1993, the format changed to the satellite-fed “Z-Rock," a heavy metal rock format simulcasting with AM 1320 KZZK. 95.3's call letters were changed to KZZK-FM. In 1995, the format changed to alternative rock as "New Rock 95.3 NRQ" with new call letters KNRQ-FM.

In 2001, after KNRQ's format and call letters moved to 97.9 (the former KKTT), 95.3 FM changed to Eugene's Smooth Jazz as 95.3 KUJZ. In 2004, it changed to country music as “95.3 The Moose”. The station was automated with no DJs. In 2009, KUJZ dropped country and picked up AM 1320 KSCR's sports radio format, using programming from CBS Sports Radio (now Infinity Sports Network). KSCR has since gone dark.
