KODA

KODA (99.1 FM, "Sunny 99.1") is an American commercial adult contemporary-formatted radio station in Houston, Texas.

(When KPRC-AM signed on in May, 1925, the call letters stood for Kotton Port Rail Center, a slogan promoting Houston commerce.

(KODA refers to the musical term coda, indicating an extended passage which brings a piece to an end.)

By the mid-1990s, KODA had begun adding more vocals to its playlist, and reducing the instrumentals, until it made the transition to soft adult contemporary.

The new moniker reflected the evolution from a Soft AC to Mainstream Adult Contemporary under the direction of General Manager Dusty Black and Program Director Dave Dillon.
