History
The station signed on the air on November 26, 1936; 87 years ago (1936-11-26). It has always had the call signKTEM. Originally it broadcast on 1370 kilocycles and was powered at 250 watts. It was a daytimer, required to go off the air at sunset. The studios were in the Kyle Hotel.[3]
In the 1960s and 70s, KTEM broadcast a Top 40 format, playing the top hits of the day.[5] In 1975, KTEM added an FM station, KPLE 104.9 MHz, airing a beautiful music sound. That station is now 104.3 KLQB in the Austin area.
As listening to Top 40 music switched from AM to FM in the 1980s, KTEM shifted to a mix of adult contemporary music, news, talk and sports. By the 1990s, the music was eliminated as KTEM switched to all-talk programming.
