This facility began broadcasting as KYOT-FM 106.7 inGranbury, Texas, in January 1990.[3] It broadcast abig band andadult standards format from a transmitter inErath County, 9 miles (14 kilometres) fromBluff Dale. Its original owner was David Carter, a formerKTVT employee and owner of theJohnson County News newspaper.[4] The station had its studios at the transmitter site and business offices inFort Worth.[5] The call sign was changed to KCYT in 1992.[1] AfterKAAM (1310 AM) flipped from big band to sports in 1993, KCYT was the only local station in the format.[6]
In 1995, Carter sold the station toHeftel Broadcasting, which flipped it to aTejano music format. Heftel owned two other facilities[7] Heftel paired it with stations at99.1 FM and107.9 FM to create Kick, a regional trimulcast serving areas fromWaco toWichita Falls.[8]
When Hispanic Broadcasting Company bought the 94.1 MHz facility and flipped it to KLNO "Estéreo Latino", it was originally simulcast on 106.7 until 2000, when the stations other than KLNO flipped to a soft adult contemporary format known as Amor.[9] In 2002, Hispanic Broadcasting Company moved the station from Granbury toBenbrook at 107.1 MHz.[10] The change was part of a 17-station shuffle in Texas and Oklahoma that movedKXGM into the market.[11] The Amor format was simulcast on 107.9 until January 2003.[12]
The station had been branded as "Estereo Latino" until February 19, 2009, when "La Que Buena" was moved from 107.9 FM (KESS-FM) and simulcast on 99.1 FM (KFZO). TheReggaeton station known as "La Kalle" was then moved to 107.9 FM and retooled toLatin Pop/CHR.
On June 23, 2011, KDXX changed its format from a simulcast of Regional Mexican-formattedKFZO 99.1 FM, known as La Jefa,[13] to Spanishadult hits, branded as "Recuerdo 107.1". A year later, Univision broke up the simulcast and moved the La Jefa format back to the 107.1 frequency, which changed call signs from KDXX to KFZO.[14]
On July 29, 2013, KFZO flipped to a simulcast of Spanish AC KDXX 99.1. The following month, on August 9, 2013, KFZO swapped call signs with KESS. On September 28, 2014, 107.1 rebranded as "Latino Mix" as part of the implementation of the brand in seven markets.[15]
