KTUX

KTUX (98.9 FM) is an American Townsquare Media radio station licensed to Carthage, Texas, and serving the Longview-Marshall-Shreveport area.

The month before Tux 99 officially debuted, the 98.9 frequency began stunting with a loop of the 1966 novelty song by Napoleon XIV "They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa!"

Within the bounds of Top 40 hits, TUX99 occasionally altered the ratios of its playlist through the early 1990s; each of these "format changes" was preceded by a stunting event, with the station playing the Napoleon XIV novelty song on constant repeat for several days.

About this time, KTUX switched syndicated morning shows from Bob & Tom to Free Beer & Hot Wings.

In its final couple years, KTUX toned down its focus on newer music a bit and played many 90s tracks along with some classic rock.

KTUX continued with the same format for a week identifying as "98.9" and teasing the start of the Walton & Johnson Show and a "brand new radio station."

A new Classic Rock format accompanied the addition of perennial market-leading morning show, Walton & Johnson—The Radio Gawds.

Notable Past Personalities In 2006 and 2007, Nick and Drew were Radio & Records nominees for Best Active Rock Show/Personality.
