KZNE (1150 AM), branded as "The Zone 1150 AM – 93.7 FM", is a commercial sports radio station licensed to serve College Station, Texas. Owned by the Bryan Broadcasting Company, KZNE covers College Station, Bryan and much of the Brazos Valley. Studios are located in College Station, with a transmitter site in Bryan.

In addition to a standard analog transmission, KZNE is simulcast over low-power FM translator K229DK (93.7 FM) College Station, and is available online.

Local programs on KZNE include TexAgs Radio, The Louie Belina Show, and Chip Howard Sports Talk. The station is also an affiliate for CBS Sports Radio and Paul Finebaum., and the flagship station for Texas A&M University athletic events.

In the United States, civilian radio stations were banned during World War I, but began to be reauthorized after the end of the conflict. In the summer of 1919 the Agricultural & Mechanical College in College Station, Texas (now Texas A&M University) received a license for a "Technical and Training School" station, with the call sign 5YA. The next year a second Technical and Training School authorization was reported, with the call sign 5YF. That same year an Experimental station license was issued, with the call sign 5XB.

In November 1921, W. A. Tolson, Chief Operator at 5XB, arranged with local amateurs to broadcast a play-by-play accounting of the season-ending Texas A&M-University of Texas Thanksgiving football game, that was being played at College Station. This was not the first radio broadcast of a football game, as earlier broadcasts in other localities date back to at least November 1919, but it was new for the area.

Tolson produced advance publicity for the broadcast. For the event, wires were run from the Kyle Field press box to the station in the Electrical Engineering building located a half-mile (800 meters) or so away. For reception, other wires were run to the home of a radio amateur who lived near the playing field. This arrangement enabled the operator to hear his own transmissions as well as those from amateur stations should their operators wish to interrupt for clarification or other information. The only radio equipment at the press box was a key for transmitting and a pair of headphones for receiving. The transmission was made using Morse Code, so to save time a special group of abbreviations was used to report the action.

Regional newspapers, including the Bryan Daily Eagle, the Houston Post, and the Waco News-Tribune made arrangements which successfully picked up the transmissions, which they noted came in faster than the Associated Press wire service bulletins.

Initially there were no formal standards for radio broadcasting, which were being made on an experimental basis by stations operating under a variety of license classifications. However, effective December 1, 1921, the United States Department of Commerce, which supervised radio at this time, issued a regulation requiring that stations making broadcasts intended for the general public now had to operate under a "Limited Commercial" license. WTAW received its first broadcast license on October 7, 1922, issued to the Agricultural and Mechanical College in College Station, which authorized the use of the 360 meter (833 kHz) "entertainment" wavelength. The call sign was randomly assigned from an alphabetical list of available call letters. (Until late January 1923, new radio stations in Texas were given call signs beginning with "W", instead of the "K" call letters which became standard afterward for all states west of the Mississippi River).
