Chelan Valley Media Group is proud to announce the sale of KOZI AM, KOZI FM and KZAL FM to AudioSphere LLC in Manson, Washington. They will take over operations upon FCC approval later this summer.

KOZI-FM programs a highly popular full-service Adult Contemporary format featuring the famous 2nd Cup of Coffee Program live Monday-Saturday. The station also carries live Seattle Seahawk games and live Local High School Football and Basketball for Brewster and Chelan. KOZI-AM programs a local sports and news/talk format featuring Fox News and live Seattle Mariners action. The KOZI signal reaches the entire Chelan basin. KZAL-FM (Z-Country 94.7) programs a popular Country Music format with local news, weather and entertainment. The KZAL signal reaches the entire Chelan and Wenatchee Valleys and is a strong local station in both markets.

KOZI FM has held the distinction of “Community Radio” for over 68 years in the valley and maintains this position in the dynamic and growing region of North Central Washington. KOZI Radio is the “go to” in the Community with 4 of 5 residents listening every single day for breaking news, information and local merchant advertising. It is a beloved entity in the Community and will be in good hands with the AudioSphere Team.

Chelan Valley Media Group took over the stations in July of 2021 from Icicle Broadcasting. The current owners plan to retire. AudioSphere is looking forward to taking over later this summer after transitioning with current management.
