KFSH-FM is a radio station in the far southern Los Angeles & Orange County, California metropolitan area broadcasting on the FM dial at 95.9 MHz with a contemporary Christian music format full-time. It is owned by the Salem Media Group and is known as "The Fish". The branding is a reference to the ichthys, the ancient fish icon used by the Christian church from its birth during the Roman Empire to the present, and the icon itself is part of the station logo. The station has studios in Glendale with the transmitter based in Orange.
KEZY went on the air on 1190 (first with only 1,000 watts), with studios at the Disneyland Hotel. The first voice heard on KEZY when it signed on in 1959 was that of K-9 TV star, Lassie. Lassie's owner, Rudd Weatherwax was an investor in the station and the hotel. It was first known as K-EZY, or K-easy, likely due to an easy listening music type of format [3] in Anaheim, California serving the Orange County listening area. Sometime around 1968-'69, KEZY moved to a larger complex for its studios and offices, located (coincidentally) at 1190 East Ball Road in Anaheim, near the intersection of Ball Road and East Street. It was around this time that KEZY turned to a top-40/pop/rock format, and became the station Orange County teens tuned to in the late-'60s and early-'70s.[4]
96 FM KEZY and close-spaced with class-B KLOS, Los Angeles was a class-A FM licensed in Anaheim with transmitter in Villa Park. KEZY FM had a number of formats, including their highly successful run as a CHR format throughout the '80s and as a AC format throughout the '90s. From 1993 to 1996, it was the flagship station for the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim (now Anaheim Ducks) National Hockey League team. In the mid 1990s KEZY advertised itself with the slogan "Hits of the 80's and 90's with no rap or hard rock, 95.9 The All New KEZY" as an alternative to the rise in popularity of hip-hop music during that decade. Air staff during this time included John Fox (previously at B-100, San Diego) and Liz Pennington in the morning, April Whitney - later, Carolyn Hogenrad middays, and music director Scott Free in the afternoons.
