There is a morning zoo show, but no real information on it.

No active listening from their web page, but instead directs you to iheart radio.

Their previous morning zoo show lasted for 27 years before one of the zoo people died in 2012.

Web page has no less than 4 links directing you to pictures of near-naked women. Thong of the day, Hot Shots, Daily Snapshot, monthly calendar.

KMYZ - "Modern Rock" or "Alternative Rock" 104.5

Has been this format since 1995, but has really struggled over the years against other local stations.

I didn't hear a morning zoo, but I might have tuned in too late in the morning.
