KTCX

KTCX (102.5 FM) is an urban contemporary formatted radio station in Beaumont, Texas.

KTCX "Magic 102.5" was launched on December 3, 1998 based on its current format.

Because it is the market's only Urban-formatted station of any kind, it plays a variety of Hip Hop, R&B, Soul, Old School, and Gospel music to cater to all African American demographics including the Mainstream audience to the Adult audience, thus making it one of the highest rated stations (sometimes #1) in the Triangle.

However, KTCX was originally an Urban AC station playing R&B and Old School only through "The Touch," a subsidiary of the ABC Radio Network.

In 2001, KTCX tweaked its format and added Hip Hop artists to the playlist as most Hip Hop listeners had to rely on out of town Houston station KBXX for the genre beforehand.
