KIZN is a commercial radio station located in Boise, Idaho, broadcasting on 92.3 FM. KIZN airs a country music format branded as "Kissin 92.3".

History[]

The station was launched in December 1967 as KATN-FM. On August 1, 1968, the call letters were changed to KBBK. Throughout the 1970s until 1984, KBBK aired a Top 40 format branded as "Magic 92". In 1984, KBBK changed their call letters to KIYS and rebranded to "Kiss 92 FM". In 1990, the station flipped to a new country station KIZN "Kissin' 92".

In early 2013, along with branding changes at sister station KQFC, Cumulus adjusted the name of the station from "Kissin' 92" to "KISSIN 92.3."

On April 3, 2017, a staff shuffle happened between KIZN and sister station KQFC; KQFC afternoon host Rick Daniels over to KIZN for the same shift.[1][2] Also, KIZN debuted a new logo.

On October 1, 2017, Shawnda McNeal [3][4][5][6] was hired to join market veteran Cory Mikhals on the KIZN morning shift. The morning show was rebranded as "Idaho's Morning Show".

On March 8, 2019, Rick Daniels left the station.[7][8][9][10]
