History

KZPR first signed on the air in 1985. In 2007, a proposed sale of 185 Clear Channel radio stations, including the entire Minot cluster, to Dean Goodman's GoodRadio, LLC, was announced the deal, which involved a total of $452.1 million in assets, was ultimately terminated due to financing issues, resulting in KZPR and its sister stations remaining under iHeartMedia ownership.
