The station is owned by iHeartMedia, airing an adult contemporary radio format, switching to Christmas music for much of November and December.

The FM's transmitter moved from Abe Lincoln Road to the Tower of the Americas site in downtown San Antonio in 1972.

But by the late 1980s, the easy sound was attracting older listeners while most advertisers seek a young to middle-aged demographic.

In 1990, KQXT moved away from its longtime easy listening image to an updated, all-vocal, soft adult contemporary playlist.

On November 9, 2020, KQXT added the nationally syndicated Kidd Kraddick Morning Show in AM drive time.

In May 2012, KQXT-HD3 was activated and began simulcasting talk radio sister station WOAI 1200 AM, which fed FM translator K289BN at 105.7 MHz.
