97.1 FM country legends
- Thread starter Radio guy
- Start date
After the sale is approved by the FCC and closes. Likely some time in October or early November.
Looks like the format will continue on KKBQ 92.9 HD-2.

Although it will not be under the same branding or on the same frequency, I've been told by an individual in the market that the classic country format will continue OTA, following the demise of 97.1.
Oh? So there IS a broadcaster willing to take a chance on the format in Houston?

On 92.9 HD2?
One fun fact I learned recently. There’s more high schools in the greater Houston area than there are in the entire state of Louisiana
Is KHGV changing formats?
Perhaps 99.7 in Conroe
I had heard that KORG was flipping to Classic Country, which would probably do well in the Cleveland area. Listening to their stream, it seems that the change has already taken place, and their playlist appears to be much larger than the 200 songs Country Legends seemed to have in rotation.
What would really be a home run for this little station is if they could garner some of the disc jockeys who were fired en masse when Westinghouse bought KIKK in 1993, and give them carte blanche to recreate the Classic KIKK on KORG.

I doubt it... the "country mix" format on KVST does pretty well up on this side of town, but stranger things have happened.
They’re actually transmitting in Huntsville
If I’m looking at the right station? But, radio-locator has three signals at 99.7 in Houston. I don’t think any of them go past 100 watts. I could be wrong
The primary KVST tower is between Conroe and Huntsville. The station superserves Montgomery and Walker counties.
There are three LPFMs on 99.7 in the Houston-Galveston area: KOYM, KHGV, and KLHG.
KVST is receivable in north Harris County but is not really a factor there.
It would be even more interesting if the actual KIKK 650 flipped to the format.
Move the sports format off 100.3 HD2 to one of Audacy's other FMs, and park an HD simulcast of the classic country format on it. Rebrand the Texas Country format on 100.3 HD3 something else, and really dig into the KIKK heritage with 650.
Despite the complete lack of ratings for the current 650 format, it'll never happen, but it's kinda fun to think about.
And the KVST signal regularly interferes with them.
But it continues to be a factor south of Loop 610, where it regularly interferes with KHGV in particular.
You must be talking about tropos. I have not heard interference within their protected contour before. Unlike 94.1 KBIH-LP or 92.5 KJJG-LP nearby.
