KTJK (101.7 FM, "The Raider") is a variety hits radio station serving the area around Abilene, Texas and licensed to nearby Hawley.
History
KTJK began airing content under a new commercial license in late winter 2018, adopting its current variety hits format after a seasonal broadcast of all Christmas music.[2] The license and equipment was purchased in spring 2021 by WesTex Telco.[3] KTJK is held by local community ownership and is operated by local staff.
At midnight, August 1, 2023, the station began simulcasting on sister KKHR 106.3FM in preparation of a swap to that frequency, replacing the hispanic music format previously on KKHR.
Branding
The station's identity as "101.7 The Raider" is a direct reference to the presence of Dyess Air Force Base in the local community.[4] The United States Air Force has announced Dyess AFB as one of the operational bases of the under-development US heavy bomber, the Northrop Grumman B-21 Raider.
