KYKZ - Info & Station Profile

At 100,000 watts, KYKZ-96 reaches listeners all over Southwest Louisiana. KYKZ targets the 25-54 age demographic and has been Southwest Louisiana’s Number One Radio Station for 17 years according to Arbitron rating reports, an independent survey of the listening habits of people aged 12 and over.

Take a look at the charts below from the most recent Arbitron survey. Note how KYKZ-96 has a significantly larger share of the audience than any other station.

This total dominance of the market has been achieved through solid, consistent programming concepts, aggressive community involvement and hard hitting promotions. KYKZ-96 reaches thousands of people everyday, not just at home - but in their cars and at work.

KYKZ-96 programs a blend of the best current Country hits and Country Classics of years gone by. We recognize that music alone is not the only reason people listen to the radio. That’s why we offer an abundant amount of information to our listeners to help them make it through their day. KYKZ features local news every hour supplemented by the ABC Radio Network, traffic reports, plus Paul Harvey News and Commentary three times daily. In addition, hourly reports from Rob Robin, the most trusted name in weather forecasting in Southwest Louisiana. We feel it is important to inform as well as entertain.

We're proud to have been chosen by the Country Music Association as CMA "Station of the year." KYKZ has been nominated four times and won the much coveted award in 1991.

KYKZ was chosen by Radio Ink magazine for having one of "The 50 Best Radio Station Websites in the World." The announcement was made in the June 26, 2000 issue of Radio Ink magazine. The KYKZ Website was rated number 6 in the "Best Promotionally Oriented" category among radio stations throughout the world. KYKZ was awarded "First Place - Radio Website" in 2001 by the Louisiana Associated Press Broadcasters Association. Whether you're a Country music fan or just want information on events in southwest Louisiana, this is the site to go to for it all.

Is it any wonder why advertisers love KYKZ-96? Many of Southwest Louisiana’s most successful businesses advertise on KYKZ. Why? Because it works; they get results! Radio reaches more people everyday than any other medium, more than TV, more than newspaper - more than any other medium.

Country Music enjoys the kind of loyalty that few musical formats have. Combine that with the strength of our award winning News and Weather Department, consistently powerful promotions and you can’t lose. It’s a win-win-win situation for our listeners, our advertisers and the station. Shouldn’t you be advertising on KYKZ-96 too?
