KTCX (102.5FM) is anurban contemporary formattedradio station inBeaumont, Texas. It serves the entire Golden Triangle and is owned byCumulus Media. The station's studios are located on South Eleventh Street in Beaumont, and its transmitter is located between Beaumont andFannett.
KTCX "Magic 102.5" was launched on December 3, 1998 based on its current format. Because it is the market's only Urban-formatted station of any kind, it plays a variety ofHip Hop,R&B,Soul,Old School, andGospel music to cater to allAfrican American demographics including theMainstream audience to theAdult audience, thus making it one of the highest rated stations (sometimes #1) in the Triangle. It is the home of the nationally syndicatedSteve Harvey Morning Show. However, KTCX was originally an Urban AC station playing R&B and Old School only through "The Touch," a subsidiary of theABC Radio Network. In 2001, KTCX tweaked its format and added Hip Hop artists to the playlist as most Hip Hop listeners had to rely on out of town Houston stationKBXX for the genre beforehand.
The station and its branding is not to be confused with Houston R&B stationKMJQ "Majic 102.1", which rebranded from "Majic 102" to avoid it.
