History
In 2009, Shamrock Communications was granted a construction permit to build a new FM station northeast of Reno and licensed to Fallon. It took three years to get the station on the air.[3]
On November 12, 2012, the station signed on. It had an alternative rock format.
On August 2, 2017, KRZQ was acquired by Big Horn Media from Shamrock Communications. The station changed to Soft Adult Contemporary, branded as Easy 104.1 under the new call sign KUEZ.[4]
