KZTB (97.9 FM, "La Gran D 97.9") is a radio station licensed to serve Milton-Freewater, Oregon, United States.
KZTB broadcasts a Spanish-language regional Mexican format as part of Adelante's nationally syndicated "La Gran D" radio network.
[3] The Tri-Cities area, dubbed the "Heart of Washington's Wine Country", is now home to an increasing population of Hispanics, primarily immigrants from Mexico.
[1] After several extensions, the permit transfer, and an authorization to increase effective radiated power to 5,100 watts, KLKY received its license to cover from the FCC on May 17, 1993.
[10] In December 2000, Marathon Media Group, LLC, announced it had contracted to sell KTHK to Clear Channel Communications through its Clear Channel Broadcasting Licenses, Inc., subsidiary as part of a five-station deal valued at $11 million.
[17][18] In addition to the Weston station, Bustos Media agreed to pay Alexandra Communications $900,000 in cash at closing.
[1] This change was short-lived as less than two weeks later the station was assigned the current KZTB call letters by the FCC on March 14, 2006.
[22] In September 2010, Bustos transferred most of its licenses to Adelante Media Group as part of a settlement with its lenders.
