K227BH, also known as 92.5 & 93.3 The Bull, or on the air as simply K-BUC (93.3 FM), is a classic country radio station broadcasting in and around San Antonio, Texas, USA, simulcasting KRPT 92.5 FM Devine, Texas. Until June 23, 2015 it was (as KZEP 93.3) broadcasting the continuation of longtime San Antonio classic rock FM radio station 104.5 KZEP until a format change at that station occurred in August 2014. At that time, it was a translator station broadcasting a different signal than its parent station, KZEP-FM "Hot 104.5". The station is owned by Mary H. Lopez. Its studios are located on Interstate 10 in Northwest San Antonio near Wonderland of the Americas Mall, and the transmitter site is atop Tower of the Americas downtown.

History as KZEP

KZEP signed on as KITE-FM on 104.5 FM with a "beautiful music" format. Toward the end of the 1960s, KITE-FM began experimenting with a multi-formatted station, i.e., beautiful music during the day and album rock after 11 PM. The underground rock segment was known as "Now Sounds." The Album Underground Rock format began after the classical music segment. Disc jockey Alan Grimm broadcast a different length show every night, sometimes until 6 AM. Underground rock artists included: It's A Beautiful Day, Bubble Puppy, The 13th Floor Elevators, Procol Harum, Ten Years After, Jefferson Airplane, Savoy Brown, The Who, The Grateful Dead, Love, Pink Floyd, Josefus, etc. KITE-FM evolved into a full-time rocker as KEXL in the 1970s. In 1986, the station became known as KZEP-FM, and continued to broadcast classic rock at 104.5 FM.

On August 8, 2014, at approximately 12 noon (CDT), KZEP's classic rock format moved to broadcast at 93.3 K227BH and KZEP's HD2 channel, as KZEP-FM flipped to a classic-leaning Rhythmic CHR format known as "Hot 104.5.".^[1]^[2] Clear Channel refers to the classic rock station as KZEP-HD and on-air promotions still use the name KZEP.^[3]

On June 23, 2015 K227BH switched from KZEP's classic rock format to a simulcast of classic country-formatted KRPT 92.5 FM Devine, Texas (KZEP's classic rock format continues on KZEP 104.5 HD2 and iHeartRadio).^[4]

KZEP-HD2 programming

Although 93.3 K227BH changed format over the air, KZEP-HD2 continues to air the classic rock format formerly broadcast on both 93.3 and 104.5 before that. The KZEP-HD2 classic rock format also continues to broadcast online at their website.

KZEP plays two songs back to back from the same artist every Tuesday calling it "Two for Tuesday". KZEP also airs a classic disc at midnight, playing an album's worth of music from the same artist. The album usually ties in with an event that occurred on said day (for instance, a Rolling Stones album on Mick Jagger's birthday). Weeknights, the station airs the Sixx Sense rock radio show. On Sunday mornings it airs the nationally syndicated show Flashback.
