HISTORY

During the 1950s, KTKT was Tucson's only rock and roll radio station. It was first found at 1490 AM. Originally owned and opperated by Thomas J Wallace Sr. Mr Wallace came to Tucson from Chicage where he was Uncle Walter in the 1940's radio show 'Uncle Walter's Dog House".

By 1956 the Wallace family had moved KTKT to 99.5 FM and called it the "Color Channel". After hiring on air talent Frankie Kalil, KTKT becamne number one in Tucson.

Their bumber sticker was notorious, 'Don't honk, listening to KTKT Color Channel 99'

KTKT In the 1960s, and the early 70s,played a Top 40 format and was by far the number one radio station in Tucson and southern Arizona. Today there is a KTKT Tribute site devoted to the original KTKT "color channel 99" [color TV was the rage in the early 1960s].
