KJTV (950 AM, "100.7 The Score") is a Lubbock, Texas, radio station broadcasting with a daytime power of 5,000 watts. Programming includes both local and nationally syndicated sports talk shows. It is owned by Ramar Communications Inc., co-owned with several sister radio stations. Its studios are located at 620 Avenue O in downtown Lubbock, and its transmitter is in Mackenzie Park east of downtown.

History

KSEL was the second radio station established in Lubbock, signing on in 1947. KCBD 1590 was third in 1949 and KFYO was the first, established in Lubbock in 1932.

In late 1999, the then-KXTQ-AM ended its simulcast of co-owned Magic 93.7 KXTQ-FM, changed its call sign to KJTV and debuted a News/Talk/Sports format. The new format's morning show was originally hosted by Jeff Klotzman and Jane Prince-Jones with Mike Stephens anchoring news. "News Radio 950" also simulcast sister-station FOX 34's News @ 9 newscasts, aired the Associated Press' nationally syndicated All-News news wheel, Dallas Cowboys games, and for the 2000 season- Texas Tech Red Raider Baseball. Klotzman also served as the News Director and main anchor for FOX 34 News @ 9 while he hosted the morning show.

In March 2001, KJTV began airing Texas Rangers games as part of an expanded affiliation with the KRLD-based Texas State Network.

On September 10, 2001, KJTV was a part of the original affiliates for the debut of the Sean Hannity Show. KJTV aired the Sean Hannity Show through May 2003 before the show moved in Lubbock to KFYO.

In June 2002, Ryan Hyatt and Don Williams brought the "Williams & Hyatt Show" to KJTV, leaving KKAM. The show expanded to three hours, airing weekdays 4pm-7pm. Scott Fitzgerald also left KKAM to become their full-time producer. Williams & Hyatt would leave KJTV in July 2004, returning to KKAM in November 2004.

In August 2009, KJTV began airing Texas Tech Football, Red Raider Basketball, select Lady Raider Basketball, and select Red Raider Baseball games as part of RAMAR's Double T 104.3 becoming the flagship radio station for Texas Tech sports.

In 2010, Ramar Communications purchased FM translator K264AN (100.7 FM) and began simulcasting Fox Talk 950, as permitted under new FCC rules passed in 2009.

On July 1, 2013, KJTV was re-branded as "AM 950/100.7 FM Lubbock's News, Talk, Sports". News/Talk and Ag programming aired seven days a week from Midnight-3p, with NBC Sports Radio and sports play-by-play airing from 3p-Midnight, seven days a week. From 1999-2017 local talk hosts at various times on KJTV included: Jeff Klotzman, Dave King, current Lubbock County Judge Curtis Parrish, current Lubbock County Treasurer Chris Winn, Jane Prince-Jones, Chuck Heinz, Wendy Wills (Roberts), Matt Ernst, and Ag Director Eddie Griffiths.

On August 7, 2017, KJTV flipped formats from news/talk/sports to all-sports, debuting the branding of "100.7 The Score". Programming includes local shows from Double T 97.3 hosts and national shows from a variety of networks including ESPN Radio, NBC Sports Radio and Sports Byline USA. As of 2023, KJTV's national sports affiliations included ESPN Radio, CBS Sports Radio and WestwoodOne Sports.
