History [ edit ]

KCOR first signed on in 1946 as a 1,000- watt daytimer , owned by Raoul A. Cortez . ^[2] The original call sign contained the first three letters of his last name. The station has been mostly Hispanic-owned and programmed through its seven-plus decades on the air, airing Tejano and Regional Mexican music .

In 2003, the station was acquired by Univision Radio , a subsidiary of the top Spanish-language television network in the United States, Univision . ^[3] Univision later switched the format to Spanish-language talk , mostly from its own radio network.

On December 20, 2016, Univision announced that KCOR would be one of the charter affiliates of the company's new Spanish-language sports network, Univision Deportes Radio . The launch occurred in March 2017. ^[4] From 2014 to 2015, the station had been simulcasting the Tejano music format of co-owned KXTN-FM and used the KXTN call sign . With the switch to sports, the call sign returned to KCOR.

In April 2019, KCOR dropped its longtime call sign, as well as the Univision Deportes Network, beginning a simulcast with Tejano sister station KXTN-FM , becoming KXTN in the process. On April 12, 2019, at 5:00 p.m., the two stations ended their simulcast, leaving the Tejano format solely on AM 1350 and on an HD Radio subchannel of 107.5, now known as KVBH-HD2. ^[5] The FM station switched its call sign to KVBH, airing a Rhythmic AC format.

On June 3, 2022, Univision announced it would sell a package of 18 radio stations across 10 of its markets, primarily AM outlets in large cities (including KXTN) and entire clusters in smaller markets such as McAllen, Texas , and Fresno, California , for $60 million to a new company known as Latino Media Network (LMN); Univision proposed to handle operations for a year under agreement before turning over operational control to LMN in the fourth quarter of 2023. ^[6] The sale was consummated on December 30, 2022.

Latino Media Network took control of operations of KXTN at the end of September 2023. ^[7]
