KXDZ

KXDZ (100.5 FM, "The Beach") is a commercial radio station licensed to serve Templeton, California, USA. The station, established in 2001, is currently owned by Martha Fahnoe and the broadcast license is held by Dimes Media Corporation.

Programming

KXDZ airs a classic rock music format branded as "95.3 The Beach", in simulcast with sister station KXTZ, to the greater San Luis Obispo, California, area. This format features adult rock hits primarily from the 1980s and early 1990s. The station duopoly had been known as "The California Sound" until a September 2002 branding shift that affected both stations. While the station has maintained essentially the same format since it signed on in 2001, several on-air hosts were shuffled to new shifts or replaced in a March 2005 shakeup.

History

This station received its original construction permit from the Federal Communications Commission on April 24, 1998. The new station was assigned the KXDZ call sign by the FCC on February 22, 2001. KXDZ received its license to cover from the FCC on July 13, 2001.
