KEAN-FM (105.1MHz) is aradio station that serves theAbilene, Texas, area withcountry music. Formerly owned byClear Channel Communications, it was purchased in 2007 byGap Broadcasting. What eventually became Gap Central Broadcasting (following the formation ofGapWest Broadcasting) was folded intoTownsquare Media on August 13, 2010.[3]
The 105.1 frequency was built in 1964 by Citizens Broadcasting Company, owner ofKWKC (1340 AM), and began as KWKC-FM on January 1, 1965.[4] The station's antenna was at the studios of co-owned KWKC AM at 2500 Butternut.[1] The KWKC stations went bankrupt in 1968 and were sold separately; an AM across town (KNIT 1280) acquired the facility and converted it to KNIT-FM. In 1978, KNIT AM/FM became KEAN (KEAN had been used by current station KXYL in Brownwood). KWKC's next owner eventually filed for a new FM on 100.7 that became KORQ.
