KKZU (Washington)

KKZU was a daytime-only radio station that broadcast on 1510 AM in Mountlake Terrace, Washington, United States. It broadcast from September 23, 1968, to January 1985, though it was off the air for four years from 1977 to 1981 and again from October 1982 to February 1983. Originally intended as a community station for southern Snohomish County under the KURB and KAAR call signs, it cycled through formats and failed financially. A sale was approved in 1980, but under KKNW and later KKZU call letters, the daytime-only, low-power station continued to be unable to find its footing. The last owner, Radio Northwest Broadcasting Company, took KKZU silent in January 1985; it never returned to the air.
