KMZT (1260 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station licensed to Beverly Hills, California. Owned by Mount Wilson FM Broadcasters, the station serves Greater Los Angeles and much of surrounding Southern California. The KMZT studios are located in Los Angeles' Westwood neighborhood, while the station transmitter resides in the nearby Mission Hills neighborhood. Besides a standard analog transmission, KMZT broadcasts over through the HD Radio in-band on-channel standard for AM stations.
The station went on the air in 1947 as KGIL. It has undergone numerous call sign changes since 1993, including two restorations of the KGIL call sign and multiple periods as KSUR, KKGO, and KMZT; it has also frequently changed its format, including multiple stints with adult standards, oldies, and talk formats in addition to the "K-Mozart" classical programming, as well as serving as the original home of KKGO-FM's country music format from 2006 to 2007.
