What AM stations still play music?

S

Smittian

As I have traveled through certain parts of the state, it's obvious that music on the AM band is very rare these days. Especially on English-speaking radio stations. Off the top of my head, I can only think of a few here in Texas that still do, and most of those are located in small towns, with the exception of San Antonio's KKYX & KONO. Here's a short list I came up with. Any others?

KKYX-680 San Antonio
KONO-860 San Antonio (simulcast of KONO 101.1)
KULP-1390 El Campo
KOGT-1600 Orange
KAML-990 Kenedy-Karnes City

KOPY in Alice/Corpus Christi flipped to Fox Sports recently...too bad, enjoyed its booming signal and classic country when in South Texas.

DXER1, it looks like KOPY-FM is the Spanish Hits station.

I got a chance to listen to KOPY-AM this past weekend, and they were wall-to-wall Fox Sports.

M Street says the AM changed to Sports from Country about 8 months ago.
 
Permian Basin area:

1270 KVKM Colorado City--Real Country
1490 KBST Big Spring--Plays some Adult Standards on weekends
1070 KWEL Midland--Plays some adult standards on weekends
1400 KBYG Big Spring--variety of talk and music
1230 KOZA Odessa--Spanish music
860 KFST Fort Stockton: AC
1330 KLBO Monahans--Oldies
1360 KACT Andrews---Country
920 KFLB Odessa: Contemporary Christian/religion
1250 KIKZ Seminole: Country and Spanish
KIUN Pecos: Adult Standards

Eastern N.M. (can be heard in West TX.)
630 KLEA Lovington: AC
1300? KHOB Hobbs: Adult Standards

I'm just curious, but which of all these stations have been true to its original format the longest or for a long time?
