KRAZ (105.9 FM, "KRAZy Country 105.9") is a commercial radio station that is licensed to Santa Ynez, California and serves the Santa Ynez and Santa Barbara areas. The station is owned by Knight Broadcasting Inc. and broadcasts a country music format from its studios in Santa Ynez.
The station at 105.9 FM originated in a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) construction permit (CP) issued in 1993 with the call sign KAGA.[1] Original owner Karin Wood sold the CP to Grape Radio Inc., owned by Mary Constant, for $45,000 in April 1995.[2] The call letters were changed to KRAZ on March 31, 1997.[3] In early 2001, Grape Radio sold KRAZ to Knight Broadcasting Inc., headed by Sandra Knight, for $325,000.[4] The station finally signed on later that year with a country music format.[5]
Syndicated programming on KRAZ includes CMT Country Countdown USA on Saturday mornings.
