[edit] History
The station first began their broadcasting activities as KTAN on AM 1500 in 1947 airing a combined entertainment and classical music format. More than 10 years later, the call sign changed to KTXO and the format changed to "Country and Western". It was one of the first stations in Texas to change to such a format.[citation needed] KTXO 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 a variety format playing top-ranked songs from 1958-1970.
