The station first went on the air in July 1989. Licensed to Waite Park, it originally used the call sign KZZQ (briefly shared with the 1390 AM frequency as a simulcast "Kiss" brand). On December 22, 1989, the station underwent a format and identity overhaul, changing its call letters to KLZZ and adopting the branding "103.7 The Loon" with a classic rock format.
