Ownership

KZTL launched in the fall of 2007 as Wild Country 93.5 airing New and Up-and-coming New Country Artists.

In May 2013, Armada Media and Legacy Broadcasting traded some stations in Nebraska, with two stations in Holdrege (KUVR/1380 and KMTY/97.7) going to Legacy and eight others in the Scottsbluff and North Platte markets [KZTL/93.5 (Paxton-North Platte) and KRNP/100.7 (Sutherland-North Platte), KOAQ/690 (Terrytown), KOLT/1320 (Scottsbluff), KMOR/93.3 (Gering), KETT/99.3 (Mitchell), KOZY-FM/101.3 (Bridgeport), KHYY/106.9 (Minatare)] going to Armada Media. A purchase price was not announced.

On April 22, 2018, KZTL changed their format from adult contemporary to Classic Country, re-branded as "Country 93.5". The change was coincident with Legacy Communications resuming operation of the station after Armada Media's LMA expired.[2]

In October 2020, KZTL rebranded as "Z93.5".[3]

Effective December 2, 2020, Legacy Communications sold KZTL and KRNP to Eagle Communications, Inc. for $800,000.
