Radio station in Deerfield, Missouri, United States

KBZI Deerfield, Missouri United States Broadcast area Pittsburg, Kansas Branding 100.7 BZI Programming Format Hot adult contemporary Ownership Owner American Media Investments History First air date 2000 (2000) Last air date 2009 (2009) Former call signs KIKM (February 19–24, 2009) Former frequencies 100.7 MHz

**KBZI** (100.7 [FM](/source/FM_broadcasting)) was a radio station broadcasting a [hot adult contemporary](/source/Hot_adult_contemporary) format. Previously [licensed](/source/City_of_license) to [Deerfield, Missouri](/source/Deerfield%2C_Missouri), it served the [Pittsburg, Kansas](/source/Pittsburg%2C_Kansas), area. The station was owned by American Media Investments, and was branded as *B100.7* until May 2008.

In February 2009, the KBZI format was set to move to [107.1 FM](/source/KJML) so that its signal would better serve the southern part of the Pittsburg market and the nearby [Joplin, Missouri](/source/Joplin%2C_Missouri), market. However, this severely weakened its signal in the northern part of the market, 100.7's primary coverage area, making it more difficult to pick it up in [Fort Scott](/source/Fort_Scott%2C_Kansas) and [Nevada](/source/Nevada%2C_Missouri), where it had a significant following. The switch was delayed due to high winds, which prevented workers from installing the transmitter on its new tower, which kept the station off the air for three days.

A few days later, it was rumored that the 107.1 BZI experiment had already been killed and the 107.1 frequency was restored to the format it had been carrying before the switch. Confirmation of this has not yet been made by anyone involved with the station. The KBZI callsign remained on the 107.1 FM frequency until November 16, 2009, when the call sign was changed back to [KJML](/source/KJML). A new station on 100.7, [KSHQ](/source/KSHQ) went on the air in 2013.
