KLBJ has a local news-sharing agreement with the Fox TV Network's KTBC Channel 7, its former sister station.
It carried the CBS schedule of dramas, comedies, news, sports, soap operas, game shows and big band broadcasts during the "Golden Age of Radio.
In the 1950s, as network programming moved to television, 590 KTBC began playing middle of the road (MOR) and easy listening music, while still airing CBS News on the hour.
The radio stations' call letters were changed to KLBJ and KLBJ-FM, to match the initials of former President Johnson, who had died earlier that year.
[9] The new company was a merger of LBJ Broadcasting, which also owned KAJZ, with Sinclair Telecable's two stations in the market: KROX-FM and KGSR.
In 2003, the Indianapolis-based Emmis Communications acquired the controlling stake in the stations;[11] the $150 million sale, completed on July 1, marked the Johnson family's exit from broadcasting.
In June 2019, Emmis announced that it would sell its controlling stake in the Austin cluster back to Sinclair Telecable for $39.3 million.
