KQFX (104.3FM) is aradio station licensed toBorger, Texas, United States. The station serves theAmarillo, Texas, area. The station is currently owned by Viva Media LLC[2]
KQFX began broadcasting as KBBB-FM in 1975 and changed to KDKQ on January 2, 1979. On December 1, 1984, the station changed its call sign toKDXR, then again on April 13, 1992, to the current KQFX.[3]
On April 15, 2017, with the announced sale of KQFX from Tejas Broadcasting to Viva Media, the station'sLa Caliente format moved toKZIP, and the station beganstunting with a series of random formats. On May 1, 2017, the station flipped to a rhythmic-leaninghot adult contemporary format asWild 104.3, with a focus on current music and recurrent "party hits" from the 1990s and 2000s. Tommy the Hacker moved fromKXSS-FM to host the station's new morning show.[4][5]
On July 31, 2018, KQFX flipped back to aregional Mexican format asLa Poderosa 96.1 & 104.3, in simulcast withKBEX. The flip, however, occurred during a live remote by Tommy the Hacker and morning co-host Angel Dee, promoting a sock donation drive at a localSalvation Army branch. The hosts were caught off-guard by the flip, which they were informed of via text messages.[6]
