KRDY (1160 AM) is an AM radio station which serves the Greater San Antonio, Texas area. The station is owned by Salem Media Group, through licensee South Texas Broadcasting, Inc.[1]

History

KFHM: 1978‒1991

On May 31, 1978, KFHM began broadcasting as a Tejano/Latin music AM radio station.

KVAR: 1991‒1993

On August 26, 1991, the station changed its call letters from KFHM to KVAR.

KENS: 1993‒2004

On October 15, 1993, the station changed its call letters from KVAR to KENS and adopted a news/talk radio format.

KRDY: 2004‒present

On February 27, 2004, the station changed its call letters from KENS to KRDY.[2]

On June 4, 2013, Radio Disney announced that it would be selling 7 radio stations, which included KRDY, in an attempt to increase revenue and focus more on stations serving Top 25 markets.[3]

On September 28, 2013, KRDY dropped the Radio Disney affiliation and went silent.[4]

In October 2013, Radio Disney Group filed to sell KRDY and KDIS-FM to Salem Communications Corporation, owner of several other San Antonio-area radio stations.[5] Salem's purchase, at a price of $2 million, was consummated on February 7, 2014.
