KDZA (1230 AM) is a radio station licensed to Pueblo, Colorado. The station is owned by Mountain Radio Group, through licensee Colorado Radio Marketing, LLC. KDZA broadcasts a classic hits format; it brands as "101.9 KDZA" in reflection of its FM translator, K270CM (101.9).
The station signed on in February 1948, and from around 1962 until the mid-1980s was Pueblo's leading AM Top 40 outlet.
In 1993, the station became KKPC and was operated by Pueblo Community College, airing Colorado Public Radio's news and talk programming.
On September 23, 2021, the format changed to adult hits, branded as "101.9 The Lake".[1]
On May 18, 2023, a month after returning to its original call sign (which had been used on 107.9 FM and then 1350 AM after being dropped from this station in 1993), KDZA changed its format from adult hits to classic hits, branded as "101.9 KDZA".[2]
