KTJK (106.3 FM, "The Raider") is a radio station broadcasting a variety hits format in Abilene, Texas, United States. The station is one of four Abilene-area stations owned by WesTex Communications and operates from its studios on Chestnut Street. In addition to its standard format, it broadcasts a rhythmic contemporary format on its HD Radio subchannel.

The 106.3 frequency was established by SURE Broadcasting and went on the air as KHXS "Kicks 106" with a country music format on October 6, 1989. The station then adopted a Tejano music format in 1991, only for the ownership to change formats to easy listening music the next year in order to make more money. In 1992, SURE Broadcasting declared bankruptcy, and it remained in receivership for nearly four years.

Taylor County Broadcasting began leasing KHXS in 1996, after it was sold by the receiver, and programmed a conservative talk format before switching to classic rock. Cumulus Media acquired the Taylor County Broadcasting stations and KHXS in 1997; it switched the programming of KHXS and KFQX-FM 102.7 in 1998, moving contemporary hit outlet Fox FM and the KFQX-FM call sign to 106.3. Nearly immediately, Cumulus traded KFQX-FM to Powell Meredith Communications Corporation, which moved KKHR and its Spanish-language contemporary hit radio format to the 106.3 frequency. Canfin Enterprises acquired KKHR in 2004, retaining the format.

Canfin Enterprises sold its three Abilene radio stations to WesTex Communications in 2022. The long-running Spanish-language format was relaunched and then dropped on August 1, 2023, allowing WesTex to move its "The Raider" variety hits format from 101.7 MHz.
