KOZE (950 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station broadcasting a talk radio format. Licensed to Lewiston, Idaho, United States, the station is currently owned by Lee and Angie McVey's McVey Entertainment Group, LLC.

By day, KOZE is powered at 5,000 watts. But at night, to reduce interference to other stations on 950 AM, KOZE reduces power to 1,000 watts. It uses a directional antenna with a three-tower array.

Weekends feature shows on money, health, pets, guns, cars, technology and real estate. Weekend hosts include Kim Komando, Dr. Ronald Hoffman, Ron Aninian, Warren Eckstein and "Somewhere in Time with Art Bell." Most hours begin with an update from ABC News Radio.
