KOZX is a radio station airing a rock music format licensed to Cabool, Missouri, United States. It is known as The Hoss FM and owned by A and D Group, Inc.
This station began broadcasting as KVVC-FM 106.3 in 1978. It moved to 98.1 MHz in 1989, when it changed call signs to KOZX but retained its country music format.[2]
In 2018, KOZX and its sister stations KELE AM and FM in Mountain Grove, then owned by Ozark Media, went silent. They resumed operation after nearly a year and were purchased by Joy Christian Communications, with KOZX running a Southern gospel format.[3] The station was purchased by Dockins Communications in 2021. KFDS-FM (the former KELE FM) and KOZX were sold to Doug and Amy Driesel in 2025, with KOZX flipping from classic hits to a red dirt country format as "The Hoss".[4]
