[10] In 1976, Eldred Thomas, the founder of Covenant Educational Media, bought KVTT and turned it into a Christian music and teaching station.

[15] In June 2006, KVTT's owners tried to broker a frequency swap with WRR, a commercial radio station owned by the City of Dallas that airs a classical music format.

[17][18] Covenant Educational Media announced on June 9, 2009, the station would be sold to North Texas Public Broadcasting, owners of KERA and KERA-TV.

[21][25] Music programs formerly heard on KERA FM moved to 91.7, including 90.1 at Night, which was renamed as The Paul Slavens Show .

On October 2, 2017, KXT relaunched its positioning statement as "The Republic of Music", with a greater emphasis on local artists, and revamped the station's daily schedule.
