KQXX-FM (105.5FM, "Kiss FM 105.5 & 106.3") is aradio station broadcasting aHot Adult Contemporary music format, simulcasting its sister stationKHKZ.[2] Licensed toMission, Texas, United States, the station serves the McAllen area. The station is currently owned byiHeartMedia.[3] It shares a studio with its sister stations,KHKZ,KBFM,KTEX, andKVNS, located close to theKRGV-TV studios inWeslaco, Texas, while itstransmitter is located inMission, Texas.
On January 3, 1983, the FCC granted a construction permit to Mission Broadcast Enterprises, owned by Lino Canales and Gustavo Valadez, Jr., for a new radio station in Mission,KITM. Before going to air, the construction permit was sold to KITM, Inc. in April 1984. By January 1986, the station was on the air as "Star 105".
KITM was sold to RGV Broadcasting, Inc. in 1991; on March 25, the new owners relaunched KITM asKVTY "Victory 105" with a contemporary Christian format.[4] By January 1992, however, KVTY had shifted formats to easy listening, complemented by a slate of local high school and college sports broadcasts.[5]
Another station sale in 1993 united KVTY with KBOR (1600 AM). On May 21, 1993, the station becameKTJX, broadcastingTejano music. KBOR paired KTJX with KTJN in the Lower Valley. In 2000, the 105.5-106.3 simulcast was dropped, and KTJX becameKBOR-FM.
Clear Channel, the predecessor toiHeartMedia, acquired the KBOR stations in 2003, just after 105.5 becameKQXX-FM "Oldies 105.5". In 2009, KQXX-FM flipped to classic rock as "105.5 The X".On November 27, 2015, the station dropped the classic rock format and began stunting an all-Christmas music format. The Christmas music stunt format ended on December 25, 2015 at 6 PM, when KQXX-FM became a simulcast ofKHKZ for the first time since 2000 and rebranded as Kiss FM 105.5 & 106.3, in order to cover the entire Rio Grande Valley (as KHKZ alone does not provide adequate coverage alone of the Upper Valley). KQXX-FM was still listed in the Classic Rock panel via Mediabase until January 8, 2016, when it was officially moved to the CHR panel. As of June 2016, the station was no longer listed on Mediabase.
