History
The station received its license to cover on February 18, 2011, following an earlier construction permit that initially planned for the 93.5 MHz frequency. The unbuilt construction permit was held by Alma Corporation, who sold the station to MidNation Media for $25,000, outbidding Randy Michaels’ Radioactive LLC by $2,000 in the 2006 FCC auction. Subsequently, the Federal [Communications Commission] said that it was selling the construction permit to MidNation for $60,000. From that point on, the deal was closed.Effective September 4, 2018, MidNation Media LLC sold KZRN to Hirange Media Corp Inc for $65,000. Most recently, KZRN was purchased by Sidestream Media, LLC in a sale agreement reached in late 2024.
