KKTX-FM (96.1 MHz) is a Townsquare Media commercial radio station licensed to Kilgore, Texas, serving the Longview/Marshall/Tyler area with a classic rock format.
KRYS was loaned the use of the KKTX call set by then owner Clear Channel Communications, who also owned this facility at the time.
Between 6:00 p.m. and midnight, a live DJ played album-oriented rock - Phil Key and "Wolf" were the first two DJs at the console.
Today, the radio station features John Boy and Billy, Jen Austin mid-days, Program Director Brian Rickman afternoons, and the Ultimate Classic Rock Show with Zach Martin nights.
At 2:00 p.m. CST on October 10, 2013 KKTX-FM dropped its active rock format as 96X, and began stunting with snippets of different songs from various genres.
