The station was assigned the call letters KYCX on 1983-02-28, and originally licensed to serve Mexia, Texas. On 1984-04-04, the station changed its call sign to KYCX-FM, then on 2005-09-16 to KWGW, on 2007-08-23 to KRQX-FM.[3] The station changed its city of license to Bellmead effective August 27, 2013.
On January 1, 2014, KWBT and KBCT swapped signals, with KWBT moving to 94.5 while KBCT took ove the 104.9 signal and relaunched it as Rhythmic Top 40 "Hot 104.9" with the new call letters KBHT.[4]
Sometime in August 2015, KBHT let go the entire air staff and flipped from Rhythmic CHR to Urban AC utilizing Westwood One's "The Touch" satellite feed, and entirely adopted it as "Magic 104.9" on October 2nd.[5]
