[edit] History
The station first began their broadcasting activities as KTAN on AM frequency 1500 in 1947 airing a combined Entertainment and classical format. More than 10 years later, the callsign has changed to KTXO and changed their formats to Country and Western. It was one of the first stations in Texas to change to such a format. KTXO has enjoyed the loyal following for 3 decades until the station was sold to "Bobbin'" Bob Allen where he renamed it KJIM and changed it to an oldies format. In 2007, KJIM became a simulcast of KFYN.
