The station was first assigned the call letters KTFJ by the Federal Communications Commission on April 28, 1988, and officially began broadcasting in 1989.[2] In March 2014, the station adopted its current KZOI call sign [3] Under the ownership of Cup O'Dirt, LLC (led by John and Heidi Small), the station was branded as "Sunny Radio", specializing in 1980s pop and rock music.[4]
In November 2017, the station underwent a major programming shift after being acquired by Joaquin Garza's Fiesta Radio (through licensee La Fiesta 971, LLC). The 1980s hits format was replaced with a Regional Mexican format, and the station rebranded as "La Fiesta 97.1", reflecting its primary FM translator frequency. [5]
