they are changing formats again because the talk radio thing didnt work out. they are going to become a hip hop station called JamZ starting monday when paris hilton is released.
"Ever since it debuted with the Free FM concept, KZON has been a ratings liability for CBS Radio and has not performed well in the market. This has sparked rumors of a possible format flip to Rhythmic Contemporary. The messageboard website Radioinsight has posted a logo that suggest these speculations possibly becoming reality. On June 21, 2007 at 5:00 PM Phoenix time, KZON began its stunting phase with a sterotypical homosexual man named Renaldo taking over the station and playing music from Paris Hilton, trying to get the socialite out of jail (because she is serving her 23 day sentence, Paris Hilton will be released on June 25). The station website had a link on the main page, which had the words "Free Paris" written in pink, while all of the "Free FM" links on the site were deleted. The link redirected viewers to the "Free Paris" Petition website.
It should be noted that when KZON flips format, it will be the fourth station to drop the Free FM format, following KSCF in San Diego, California, which flipped to oldies music, sister station and former Free FM flagship WFNY/New York City, who returned to Active rock and its original call letters WXRK (K-Rock 92.3), and KIFR/San Francisco, who picked up the KFRC-FM calls and Classic Hits format from their sister station (which is now KMVQ) after it dropped the aforementioned format several months earlier."
