KZKS (105.3 FM) is a radio station which broadcasts a classic rock format. Licensed to Rifle, Colorado, United States, it serves the Grand Junction area. The station is currently owned by Western Slope Communications. The station is an affiliate of the Floydian Slip syndicated Pink Floyd program. KZKS operates boosters to fill in its signal in Grand Junction, Glenwood Springs, and Carbondale.[2]
In 1988, the owner of KZKS, Steven Humphries, was involved in a dispute with the then owners of KKOB and KKOB-FM in Albuquerque. The owner of those stations, Fairmont Communications corporation, disputed Humphries' acquisition of KNMQ out of Santa Fe. At the time, Humphries also owned 100% of the share of Sun Media of Colorado. Sun Media was operating KZKS at the time.[3] Sister station KRGS, then known as KWWS, was involved in the dispute as well. The station at one time carried Country as its format, and was known as "Kiss Country" [4][5]
