History

KQMR was originally KEYX when it began targeting Phoenix in 1988 and went from Adult Alternative to Smooth Jazz in 1990 to Active Rock KZRX in 1991 to simulcasting KEDJ in 1995.

KZRX was a hard rock format, which was at the height of its success in 1992-1993. The station went head to head with KUPD, with high profile jocks like KC Kennedy, Madd Maxx Hammer, The G-Ster, Jan Williams, Larry Mac, Rob Trygg, Twisted Tim, Tracy Lea and many other veteran KUPD jocks. On-air slogans included "Get Hard", "Arizona's Rockradio Superstation", "Arizona's Hardest", and "Z-Rock" in its first year.

In 2001 Univision (when it was Hispanic Broadcasting Corporation) acquired the station and flipped it to a Spanish-language Adult Contemporary station called "Amor". In October 2005, Univision made adjustments to the "Amor" format making it more Oldies-driven, and changed the name to "Recuerdo".
