KBZU (96.3 FM, "96.3 Nash Icon") is a commercial radio station airing a country music format. The station shares the "Nash" brand with current-based country sister station KRST.
"Nash Icon" is a new format developed by Cumulus Media that will be used on numerous Cumulus Media stations across the country as well as some non-Cumulus stations. Described as a " Hot AC for Country", the format focuses on popular country hits from the mid-1980s to early 2000s from the biggest artists of that time (the "Icons") such as Garth Brooks, Reba McEntire, George Strait, Shania Twain and Alan Jackson along with any of their new material some of which to be released on the new "Nash Icon" record label. Nash Icon plays about 25-40% new material without some current trends such as " Bro-country" heard on current based country stations. A national morning show had originally been planned to launch by the end of 2014.
In April 2015 Tony Lynn who had been a long time morning host at KRST in the 1990s and KBQI from 2000-2011 returned to the air on KBZU in the afternoon. Other personalities include Kris Abrams mornings, Paul Bailey midday's and Johnboy Crenshaw nights.
