In late 1999, the station repositioned itself with a
adult contemporary
format as "Breeze 104.3".
In December 2005, KZLT tweaked to a
Top 40 station KKXL-FM
"XL93".
Due to inadequate ratings, KZLT reverted formats back to
adult contemporary as "Lite Rock 104.3" on March 26, 2007. The station plays Christmas music annually from Thanksgiving to Christmas Day. In April 2012 the station rebranded itself using its call letters, "104.3 KZLT". In March 2013, the station reverted to the "Lite Rock 104.3" identity.[1]
On April 11, 2014 KZLT-FM relaunched as "104.3 Cities FM".[2]
