The station signed on the air in 1985 as KZAM-FM. It had an
adult album alternative (AAA) format. In late 1988, KZAM-FM changed to a satellite-fed “Pure Gold”
oldies format. In 1990, new owners changed the call letters to KAVE and started a new adult album alternative format as "95.3 The KAVE". In 1993, the format changed to the satellite-fed “
Z-Rock," a
heavy metal rock format
simulcasting with AM 1320 KZZK. 95.3's call letters were changed to KZZK-FM. In 1995, the format changed to
alternative rock as "New Rock 95.3 NRQ" with new call letters KNRQ-FM. In 2001, after KNRQ's format and call letters moved to 97.9 (the former KKTT), 95.3 FM changed to Eugene's
Smooth Jazz as 95.3 KUJZ. In 2004, it changed to
country music as “95.3 The Moose”. The station was
automated with no
DJs. In 2009, KUJZ dropped country and picked up AM 1320
KSCR's
sports radio format, using programming from CBS Sports Radio (now
Infinity Sports Network). KSCR has since gone
dark. ==Programming==
