Although little is known about the history of this station, KTXN-FM previously broadcast as “K-Texan” in the 1990s, with an adult standards format.[5] In 1998, the station was known as “Texas Radio 98.7” with a format called “Texas Mix”, which consisted of country, blues, rock, zydeco, and more Texas-like music, run by station owner Steve Coffman, who also hosted a morning show on the station called “Coffee With Coffman.”[6][7] The station was silent for a major portion of 2008 and November 3 of that year, the station relaunched as Jack FM.[8]
In September 2008, Broadcast Equities Texas, Inc., reached an agreement to sell this station to GAP Broadcasting through their GAP Broadcasting Victoria License, LLC, subsidiary. The deal was approved by the FCC on November 25, 2008, and as of July 15, 2009[update] the transaction is pending consummation.[9]
