KLJT (102.3 FM) was a radio station broadcasting a Top 40 (CHR) format. Licensed to Jacksonville, Texas, USA, the station served the Tyler, Texas area, and simulcasted on KFRO-FM in Longview, Texas. The station was owned by Waller Broadcasting, Inc. and featured programming from Hits Now! network and ABC News Radio.[1] The station is also broadcast on HD radio.[2]
History
The station was assigned call sign KSIZ on 1991-02-22. On 1998-01-20, the station changed its call sign to the current KLJT.[3] In 2008, the station flipped to a Top 40 (CHR) format with programming from the Hits Now! network while retaining "The Breeze" moniker.
On August 1, 2016, KLJT and sister stations KFRO-FM, KMPA, and KZXM were taken off the air and the staff of those stations were let go and locked out without warning by Susie Waller, the daughter of the deceased owner of the station, Dudley Waller.[4] The website remained active through mid-August, but it was redirected to a "WordPress For Broadcasters" page due to the aforementioned lockout of staff,[5] plus it could no longer stream any live broadcasts. The staff for "The Morning Madhouse" show apologized and thanked their listeners as well as explaining the incident in detail on the show's Facebook page.[6]
