First air date December 1947
The Rock First Rolled in 1964

If you’re from Pueblo, Colorado, this is the radio station you grew up with. A long list of progressive owners and dedicated disc jockeys vowed to keep the station on the air with rock 'n roll music, even when advertising dollars were more plentiful on the news and beautiful music stations.

THEY OWNED THE ROCK

These gentlemen had the courage and patience to guide KDZA through the ups and downs of a very volatile business.

THE ROCK

In 1964 legendary disc jockey Steve Scott convinced owner Dee Crouch to change the KDZA format to rock 'n roll.

IT'S ALL
ABOUT
THE MUSIC

Printing a weekly music survey was a chore but KDZA fans flocked to music stores for the latest edition.

KDZA was a high energy, community focused station. To this day people still reminisce about The Rock.
