KKEZ (94.5 MHz, "Mix 94.5") is a commercial FM radio station in Fort Dodge, Iowa. It has a hot adult contemporary radio format and is owned by Alpha Media. The transmitter is off U.S. Route 169 at Avenue G in Fort Dodge.[1]

History[edit]

In 1966, the station signed on as KWMT-FM.[2] It was the FM counterpart to KWMT (540 AM), simulcasting its country music and farm news programming. Around 1970, it switched to an automated beautiful music format, later taking the call sign KKEZ.

In 1979, KKEZ changed from beautiful music to contemporary hit radio (Top 40) as "Fort Dodge's Hit Radio 94, KKEZ". The station became branded as "Z94" by veteran Iowa programmer Jim Davis in 1986. In the early 1990s, the station changed its format to adult contemporary as "Mix 94.5" until it went soft adult contemporary in January 2009.

In 2000, KWMT and KKEZ were acquired by Clear Channel Communications, a forerunner to iHeartMedia.[3] iHeart later sold to Alpha Media. On July 31, 2009, the station reverted to its adult contemporary format while keeping the "Mix 94.5" name.

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
