History

[edit]

Early beginnings & transition

[edit]

This station was first established in1946 asKFOP, originally on 1140 AM. In 1983, the station was revamped by its former owners Jerry Snyder and Associates toKJSA (forJerrySnyder andAssociates) with anAdult Standards format known as the "Music Of Your Life."

20 years later, it was sold to M&M Broadcasters and it switched to aclassic country format known as "The Radio Ranch".

Biz Radio affiliation

[edit]

The station traded places with KCLE (1120 AM) and on May 24, 2008, KJSA moved from 1120 to 1110 AM and increased daytime power to 20,000 watts. The Houston-basedBiz Radio Network moved its broadcasts fromKMNY (1360 AM) to KJSA.

Signal testing began in April 2008, with 1360 and 1110 simulcasting BizRadio programming until May 24. That same day, Biz Radio bought the station from M&M Broadcasters, although its previous owners still maintained minor ownership of KJSA. BizRadio also leasedKTEK (1110 AM) nearHouston, which put their programming on the same 1110 frequency in both markets.

Classic country and Spanish

[edit]

On March 2, 2009, Biz Radio moved toKVCE (1160 AM), licensed toHighland Park, citing complaints from listeners that the signal was not audible in much of the immediate DFW metroplex. KJSA switched back to aclassic country format, simulcasting from its sister stationKHFX in the weeks preceding the Biz Radio move. On April 14, 2009, KJSA dropped its simulcast with KHFX in favor of aSpanish music format.

KVTT's move to AM

[edit]

On September 28, 2009, KJSA began broadcasting aChristian classic/inspirational format by Covenant Educational Media, the former owners of KVTT (91.7 FM, nowKKXT), after the sale of the FM frequency to North Texas Public Broadcasting, the owners ofKERA radio andKERA-TV. This station formally swapped to theKVTT call sign on October 14, 2009, while the KJSA callsign was warehoused to its former sisterstation inPalisade, Colorado.

From Covenant's studios in North Dallas, the "Voice of Truth" format included a variety of teaching programs, classic Christian music, and talk programming featuringThe Journey with Tom Dooley,The Scott Wilder Show, andPoint of View with Kerby Anderson. This format, broadcast since 1976, ceased broadcasting on July 12, 2010, for financial reasons after failing to connect with an audience on their new AM home.[3][4]

1110 AM today

[edit]

After the demise of the brokered religious format, 1110 AM returned tocountry music programming, this time airing 1980s and 1990s country with no commercials. On July 27, 2010, the station flipped to aTejano music format. Later, the station switched over to aclassic country format with no talking and no commercials.[citation needed]

In early 2011, KVTT has increased its daytime power to 50,000 watts. On June 14, 2011, M&M Broadcasters sold KVTT to Texoma Broadcasting Inc. for $2.625 Million. On June 14, 2011, KVTT switched toclassic country; as of 2014, KVTT has been airing programming catering to the Metroplex'sSouth Asian community.[5]

Effective May 30, 2018, Texoma Broadcasting sold KVTT and translator K238CC to Decatur Media Land, LLC for $1.375 million.
