History

[edit]

KAYD was one of the oldest FMs in Texas. It began broadcasting March 1, 1948, on 99.5 MHz as KRIC[4] and continued on that frequency in the 1950s until interference to viewers trying to watch KGUL (now KHOU) TV in Galveston caused the FCC to swap frequencies with Lake Charles, Louisiana, and put KRIC on 97.5 FM. Later the callsign was changed to KAYD to match its AM counterpoint, 1450 KAYC when it was acquired by Texas Coast Broadcasters, David H. Morris, President. Later, the callsign was changed to KFNC and a new 2,000-foot tower was built for the 97.5 frequency near Winnie, Texas so it could try to move to theHouston market in 2001. The callsign KAYD was moved to 101.7, licensed to Silsbee, Texas. 101.7 was assigned the call letters KWDX on December 10, 1979. On February 11, 2000, the station changed its call sign to KLOI; & on April 10, 2002 to the current KAYD.[5]
