On December 28, 2010, KZQQ changed their format back to sports.

In 2022, Canfin Enterprises reached a deal to sell its Abilene radio cluster to WesTex Telco, LLC, owner of KTJK (101.7 FM).^[4]

As of October 1, KZQQ was playing solid gold oldies in advance of a transition to a reworked news-talk format previously found on sister KWKC.
