KHKX (99.1FM), branded as "Kicks 99 Country", is aradio station that serves theMidland–Odessa metropolitan area withcountry music and live high school football forOdessa High School andPermian High School.[2] They are a former affiliate for theDallas Cowboys and broadcast the #1 rated country morning show in the Midland-Odessa area with Mike and Dana.[3]
Its studios are located at the West Texas Radio Group Building on Midkiff Road in Midland, south ofMidland Park Mall, and its transmitter is located inGardendale, Texas.
KHKX is fairly new to the Odessa-Midland area, having been established in 2001. In an effort to attract listeners to their network, they managed to sign Mike and Dana from rival Cumulus StationKGEE. WhenKCRS-FM came under new ownership inPremiere Radio Networks in 1997, they announced they would discontinue broadcasting live high school football games on the FM frequency and instead focus all sports onKCRS (AM). After six months of searching, the Ector County Independent School District was able to announce KHKX had picked up the rights to broadcast high school football and would bring the team over from KCRS-FM that had broadcast football for 8 years. They also managed to acquire the Dallas Cowboys Radio Network from 2000–2006. The increased money from these new sponsors eventually allowed them to acquire KMCM fromMusic City Mall, allowing them to monopolize the live football broadcasts for the Odessa games, and95X, which they re-branded as Bob FM and picked up the rights for Midland Christian High School football games.
