On September 4, 1998, the station changed its call sign to the current KZEW.[3] Prior to 1998, the KZEW call sign was used by what was then an album-oriented rock station in Dallas, Texas which from 1973 to 1989 invented the phrase "The Zoo" on September 19, 1973. In 2017, the station was brought back by the former staff of the original radio station. It is now streaming online at https://thezoorocks.com and is known as "THE ZOO".
