KDZN (96.5 FM) is a country formatted broadcast radio station licensed to Glendive, Montana, serving East Central Montana. KDZN is owned and operated by Andrew Sturlaugson's P&A Media.
History
KDZN signed on in 1969 as KIVE. In 1985, the station became KGLE-FM; at the time, it was owned by crosstown Friends of Christian Radio, Inc, who also formerly owned KGLE AM 590. In 1986, Magic Air Communications bought KGLE-FM,[1] switching the calls to KDZN and the format to country, where it remains today. Stephen Marks, through Glendive Broadcasting Corporation, bought Magic Air in 1995, making KDZN a sister station to KXGN AM-TV, which Marks had purchased in 1990.[2]
Stephen Marks died on May 11, 2022.[3] Andrew Sturlaugson's P&A Media acquired Marks' Montana and North Dakota radio stations, including KDZN and KXGN, for $850,000 in 2024;[4] Sturlaugson had been the Glendive stations' operations manager.[5] The sale separated the radio stations from KXGN-TV, which the Marks estate retained.[5]
