KZWY began life as KROE-FM, a sister station to KROE-AM, signing on the air for the first time on December 5th, 1977. KROE, 94.9FM was Sheridan's first FM station, and catered to a younger audience, with a mix of hard and soft rock. The station's 20,000 watt transmitter was located in the new KROE building and broadcast to the city of Sheridan from the KROE tower. From the beginning, the station used state-of-the-art automation equipment to bring an entertaining, up-beat and listenable station to Sheridan, while still being an efficient part of Kim Love's Lovcom, Inc.

KZWY studio in the late 90's

In the late 80's and early to mid 90's, KROE-FM's programming was satellite-based adult contemporary music. Responding to local demand, the station switched to a more rock-based format in the later part of that decade. In 1997, as part of the addition of KWYO's FM station to the group, KROE-FM was given a new identity as KZWY, and the music format was solidified as "Rock and Roll from Yesterday and Today." A new transmitter location on top of the Big Horn mountains, and a power increase to 75,000 watts allowed listeners from outside of Sheridan to enjoy the new Z94FM.
