History
For years the station played an oldies format that played rock and roll hits of the 1950s and 1960s.
This station became Funny 1450 as a comedy format station at 10:00 AM Wednesday January 26, 2011 following the song Hello good bye by the Beatles.
On November 28, 2011, KWFM changed their format to Spanish adult hits, branded as "La Preciosa 1450" under new calls, KTZR.
On September 25, 2016 iHeartMedia announced that KTZR would flip to News/Talk the following day. The new “Talk Of Tucson” will duplicate some of the programming of sister station KNST in different timeslots. The Glenn Beck Radio Program will add a live clearance on KTZR while continuing on KNST on a delay. Other shows that will air on KTZR include Trending Today with Rusty Humphries, The Savage Nation, Michael Berry, Rob Hunter, America Now with Meghan McCain, Ground Zero with Clyde Lewis, and Alex Jones. KTZR will also serve as the flagship for the new Tucson Roadrunners of the American Hockey League.[1]
