KODA, known as "Sunny 99.1", is an FM radio station licensed to Houston, Texas. The station's transmitters are in Missouri City, Texas. It is a mainstream adult contemporary station, marketed to the at-work listener. The station, formerly simply identified as K-O-D-A or "Coda" and 99.1 at least since the late 1970s-early 1980s (when it was a member of Group W), relabeled itself as "Sunny" in 1989 when it was acquired by SFX (now Clear Channel). The programming of adult and soft-rock music did not substantially change. During Christmas-time the station plays Christmas music 24/7.
All new smooth jazz can also be heard on 99.1 HD-2 (HD Radio needed) in replacement of former KHJZ FM 95.7 Smooth Jazz station.
The "Sunny" branding was also used on sister station KEGL-FM in Dallas, Texas, broadcasting Oldies AC music from 2004-2005.
When the Houston Oilers were a National Football League team (they are now the Tennessee Titans), it was the flagship radio station for at least the 1986 season.[1]
Notable syndicated programming includes Delilah's Love Songs show on weeknights (replacing long time Houston institution Zoe Bonet's Love Songs) and "American Top 10 Countdown" with Casey Kasem on Sunday evenings.
