KCZZ (1480 AM) is a Regional Mexican radio station licensed to Mission, Kansas and serving the Kansas City market. The station is owned by Edward Reyes, through licensee Reyes Media Group, Inc.

History

The station became the home of Radio AAHS, a format that featured children's programming and music, in November, 1994. After Radio AAHS discontinued operations in January 1998, Children's Broadcasting Corporation, the station's owner, needed programming for the ten CBC-owned and operated Radio AAHS stations until it could find buyers. In February 1998, KCAZ, along with the other nine CBC stations, became an outlet for "Beat Radio", which broadcast electronic dance music 12 hours each night until late October 1998. On September 8, 2019, when ESPN Deportes Radio discontinued operations, the station flipped to a Regional Mexican format. In January 2020, KCZZ became the third station in the market at the time to air a Regional Mexican format, after KCTO flipped to Radio Maria.
