KLLZ-FM

KLLZ-FM (99.1 MHz, "Z99") is a radio station broadcasting from Bemidji, Minnesota (licensed to Walker, Minnesota), and airs a classic rock format. It has a wide coverage area across northern Minnesota, and enjoys a huge listening audience. KLLZ is owned by Hubbard Broadcasting, Inc. The Bemidji studios are located at 502 Beltrami Avenue, downtown Bemidji. The original transmitter site was along Highway 71, near Lake George. At the same time as the Hubbard sale, a new transmitter and antenna were installed at the existing KBHP transmitter site.

Z99 is the official radio station of Moondance Jam, a four-day outdoor concert held in Walker, Minnesota every July.

The station signed on the air in May 1984 with the call sign KLLR-FM, licensed to Michael C. Steele. It was originally assigned the frequency 99.3 MHz, operating at maximum Class A station effective radiated power of 3 kW.

In May 1988 Edward De La Hunt acquired the station.

In March 1990, KLLR-FM was authorized to change to 99.1 MHz and increase power to 50 kW.

In April 1991, KLLR-FM was acquired by Sioux Valley Broadcasting Co.

In July 1991, the station's call sign was changed to KLLZ. In May 1994, the "-FM" suffix was added.

In July 1994, KLLZ-FM was acquired by Ingstad Broadcasting, Inc.
