KWFS (1290 kHz) is an AM radio station with a news/talk format serving the area of Wichita Falls, Texas, United States.

An application for a station on 46.5 MHz was filed on March 29 in the name of publisher Rhea Howard;[3] a conditional grant was issued by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on January 9, 1946.

Construction began on a new studio on Seventh Street and a transmitter building in the Westover Hills area by summer, and the new FM station took the call letters KTRN, for the Times and Record News.

[7] Ultimately, KTRN went on air December 23, 1946, an early Christmas gift to Wichita Falls;[8] the day before, it broadcast Handel's Messiah from a local church as a test of its remote control equipment.

[11] While KTRN was busy bringing FM to North Texas, on November 30, 1944,[12] the Texoma Broadcasting Company, part of the Harte-Hanks chain, applied to the FCC to build a new AM station at 970 kHz,[13] later modified to 1290.

[16] The expansion to AM turned out to be more of a migration, as the station surrendered its FM license on June 2, 1949, citing "two years of constant losses".

In 1979, it was the only AM station and one of just two total that was on the air after a major tornado devastated Wichita Falls, as most of the city lost power.
