Station history

Signed on as KRTK in May 1991 to simulcast 92.1 KRTS classical music programming to increase the station's coverage in Houston. It was sold four years later after KRTS request to increase power was approved by the FCC.

Since then, 97.1 has seen Regional Mexican/Ranchera as KEYH-FM (simulcasting 850 KEYH AM) and as Regional Mexican "Estereo 97", which later became "Que Onda 97". Under AM/FM, it acquired the KKTL calls as "Houston's Talk FM, 97 Talk". After the talk format floundered it was switched to simulcast KTBZ-FM "107-5 The Buzz". It continued simulcasting 107.5 after KTBZ and KLDE "Oldies 94.5" swapped frequencies in 2000, the result of an ownership trade-off in the AM-FM/Clear Channel merger. Newcomer Cox Radio got KKTL and the 107.5 facility where KLDE was moved. On November 4, 2000 at noon it became Rhythmic/CHR as KTHT "Hot 97.1". The first song on Hot was "Party Up" by DMX. On January 2, 2003, at Noon, after playing "Back That Thang Up" by Juvenile, 97.1 flipped to classic country as "Country Legends 97.1". The first song on Country Legends was "You Never Even Called Me by My Name" by David Allan Coe.^[3]
