History[]

K277BS signed on-air in 2012, the station was an FM translator for news/talk KNSI.

In 2018, it was announced that K277BS would flip to classic rock as "Z-Rock"; the programming on K277BS would originate from KZPK-HD3.^[2] On March 5, 2018 K277BS flipped to Classic Rock as "Z-Rock" relaying KZPK-HD3. The first song on "Z-Rock" was Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen.^[3] KNSI signed on a new FM translator (K257GK) at 99.3 MHz, which is KNSI's current FM translator.

In 2021, KZPK HD3/K277BS quietly rebranded as "Real Rock Z103" with no change in format.

The station competes with Townsquare Media's classic rock KLZZ, and Tri-County Broadcasting's active rock WHMH-FM.
