KRIZ (1420 AM) is a radio station broadcasting an Urban Contemporary format. Licensed to Renton, Washington, USA, it serves the Seattle area. The station is currently owned by the Seattle Medium.
KRIZ is a flagship station for The Z Twins, a trio of radio stations serving the Puget Sound region, most notably the African-American communities of King and Pierce County, Washington.
The Z Twins were so named as, at the time, the company only owned two stations, KRIZ and KZIZ. After KYIZ signed on, however, the name stuck, despite now having three stations in the family.
KRIZ shares its studios with KYIZ and KZIZ in the city's Central District east of downtown, and its transmitter is located in Renton.
As KSCR
KRIZ originally began in 1982 as KSCR with the slogan South(King)County Radio & had an Adult Contemporary music format. Today, the KSCR calls belong to a station in Eugene, Oregon.
