KAMP (1430

Highlands Ranch, near Colorado State Highway 470.[2]

History

In 1954, the station signed on as KOSI. The station was purchased by

KOSI-FM was launched on 101.1 FM. The two stations were successful in the Denver radio market, carrying a beautiful music
format.

In 1981, KOSI became KEZW, and adopted an

Kroenke Sports and Entertainment and flipped to sports as KKSE.[5]

On September 4, 2018, KEZW changed its format to a hybrid of soft oldies and adult standards, branded as "EZ 1430".[6]

On January 25, 2021, KEZW flipped to a gambling-focused sports talk format as "1430 AM The Bet". The change coincided with the launch of Entercom's BetQL Audio Network; the station's lineup included the network's two inaugural programs, BetQL Daily and You Better You Bet, along with programming from CBS Sports Radio (now Infinity Sports Network).[7]

On April 22, 2021, KEZW changed call letters to KAMP, as part of a warehousing move due to a change of call letters at sister station KAMP-FM in Los Angeles.
