History

From 1983 through 1989 this station had a Top40/CHR format named "HitRadio Q-106" with the new call letters KNMQ-FM. But in 1990 it changed to a country music format as KOLT-FM a.k.a. "The New Kolt 106". It briefly shifted to a classic country format in 1996 called "Krazy 105.9" with the present day KRZY-FM call letters until the fall of that year when the station was sold to Spanish-language broadcaster EXCL Communications which Entravision took over in 2000.
The 105.9 frequency has broadcast Spanish-language programming since 1996. It was a Spanish Adult Contemporary format called "Radio Romantica" from 1996–2002. It had changed to a Regional Mexican format station called "Radio Tricolor 105.9" in October 2002. In July 2004 it changed to a Latin pop music format called "Super Estrella" until November 2008.
Entravision moved adult hits formatted "José" to 105.9 FM in early November 2008. It had previous been on its sister station KRZY 1450 for about three years. The station had returned to the "Tricolor" format in early 2018, however on January 7, 2019, the station's format was changed from regional Mexican as "La Tricolor" to Grupero and Cumbia music as "La Suavecita".
