KIOZ, also known as Rock 105.3, is a Rock station in San Diego, California. It is licensed in San Diego, California, and is owned by . The station's studios are located in San Diego's Serra Mesa neighborhood on the northeast side, and the transmitter is located in La Jolla. ==History== 105.3 was licensed in 1954 and started off as KITT, a beautiful music station. The transmitter was downtown on the Bank of America building. The station struggled financially for many years, the station was perpetually for sale, at one point for as low as $100,000.00. In the early 80's KITT was bought by KCBQ and turned into a simulcast of 1170. KCBQ-FM 105.3 changed formats many times. KCBQ-FM signed on as "KCBQ Country" to compete with KSON, that failed and it switched to "The Eagle", the Eagle flopped, and KCBQ became an oldies station (which did well). KCBQ then hired back former program director Rich Brother Robbin, Rich changed the format to "Modern Oldies", it was at this point that Compass Media (owner of KCBQ AM/FM) sold the stations to Par Broadcasting. Par immediately sold its stations to Jacor (now ). It was under Jacor in 1996 that the "Rock" format on 102.1 KIOZ was moved from 102.1 to 105.3, and the KCBQ-FM call letters removed. KIOZ was chosen for the former 102.1 because KIOZ looks like 102. Compass Media ended up with 102.1 and the format was changed to Sets 102.1 then later became KPRI 102.1 (KPRI was originally on 106.5) Under Jacor Rock 105.3 thrived. Howard Stern was on mornings, Shannon Leader on middays, B.C. and Woody afternoons, Mikey in the nights, and Mark The Shark in the over nights. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「KIOZ」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
