History edit
The station, which had flipped from adult standards on September 14, 2015, originally billed itself as "Z-Rock 105.3" until October 9, 2015, when it changed the moniker to "105.3 Rock Hard" as they can not use the "Z-Rock" branding due to Cumulus Media owning the rights to the name (Cumulus also has stations that compete against the Times-Shamrock outlets in Reno).[5] In 2016 it slightly rebranded as "Z105.3 Rock Hard". On August 1, 2017 KZTI changed their format to regional Mexican, branded as "Radio Lazer". (info taken from stationintel.com)
On August 3, 2023 KZTI changed their format from Regional Mexican to Spanish rhythmic, branded as "Kalor 105.3".[6]
Booster edit
In addition to the main station, KZTI is relayed by an FM booster to widen its broadcast area.[7]
