KSLZ, "Z107.7", is a Top 40 Mainstream FM radio station in St. Louis, Missouri, United States. The Clear Channel Communications outlet broadcasts at 107.7 MHz with an ERP of 100 kW. Its transmitter is located in Shrewsbury, a suburb of St. Louis.
KSLZ debuted on the air in 1968 as KACO, which aired a AC/MOR format until a fire took the station off the air in January 1970. Two months later in March 1970, the station returned to air and changed call letters to KGRV, "Music for Groovy Adults," offering a more upbeat AC format, which lasted until 1972, when once again changed call letters to KKSS "Kiss 108" but retained its AC format. By 1974 KKSS switched formats to Country but this move did not last and by 1975 switched formats to a R&B format dubbed "Black in Stereo". In February 1979, KKSS altered its R&B format and adopted the moniker "Studio 108," with a hybrid Disco-R&B format, competting with WZEN "Disco-100 @100.3(now WSDD, another Clear Channel station).
In June 1979 the calls were changed to KMJM as "Majic 108." Majic 108 wanted to cater to the Black & White audiences as a hybrid R&B/Disco/Top 40 station (a forerunner to the Rhythmic contemporary format). The station was owned by Keymarket Communications at the time. KMJM would later go on to be among the top 5 stations in the St. Louis Arbitrons during the 1980s even as they shifted towards a conventional Urban Contemporary direction. In May 1988 KMJM was sold to Noble Communications of San Diego for $19 million. KMJM's signal was one of the best in the St. Louis area, at this time the format emerged as the Top R&B-Urban station in Saint Louis.
But that all changed in October 1997 when Jacor bought the station and moved KMJM to 104.9 WCBW which was a Chrisitian format to make room for KSLZ and its current TOP-40 format, which they filled after WKBQ dropped the format for Adult Top 40 in February of that year.
KSLZ also syndicates the highly-rated MJ Morning Show (originally known as MJ and BJ in the Morning, originating from WFLZ in Tampa), and has done so since February 1998.
KSLZ also recently made the conversion to HD Radio with their HD-2 channel carrying the NEW! CHR format, featuring artists / songs that are just breaking onto the charts.
