KRUZ is a commercial modern adult contemporary music radio station in Santa Barbara, California broadcasting on 97.5 FM.
[edit] History
Not much is known about the station's history. However, KRUZ signed on with the call letters KTMS-FM. In time, the station would go through format changes and call sign changes before becoming a top 40 station branded as "Y97" with the KHTY call letters. In 1998, the station switched to a smooth jazz format. In March 2005, Cumulus decided move the smooth jazz format to 106.3 KMGQ. The modern adult contemporary format on KRUZ 103.3 was then moved to this station. As a result, the station changed its call letters to KRUZ.
