KCHZ (95.7 The Vibe) is a Rhythmic Top 40 radio station serving the Kansas City metropolitan area from Ottawa, Kansas. The Cumulus Broadcasting outlet operates at 95.7 MHz with an ERP of 96kW. Its transmitter is located near Linwood, Kansas.
KCHZ began targeting Kansas City as a Modern Rock outlet in the mid-1990s, but by 1997 it would begin a see-saw like, back and forth journey as a Top 40, stating out as a Mainstream, then shifting to Rhythmic by 1998, only to go back to Mainstream in 2000, followed by a return to Rhythmic in 2002, only to return to Mainstream by late 2003.
But by November 2005 (And after years of confusing listeners over what direction the station was taking) the former Z 95.7 would finally make Rhythmic Top 40 the official format by changing its moniker to 95-7 The Vibe, "The Beat Of Kansas City".
During the transition to an urban station, KCHZ switched over to an all-Christmas music, and billed itself as "Jingle 95.7", from November 1 to November 3, 2005, jumping the gun a week before KUDL or KCKC would even start broadcasting Christmas music. Following completion, "95.7 The Vibe" debuted, and Christmas music has never aired again on the station.
