KTKR (760 AM) is an all-sports radio station serving the San Antonio, Texas, USA area. KTKR, more popularly known as "Ticket 760", is owned by Clear Channel Communications as a sister station to, among others, heritage station WOAI.
The station lineup includes Steve Czaban, Jim Rome, Chris Myers, J. T. the Brick, and other Fox Sports Radio programs, including shows from Dan Patrick and Tony Bruno. "Ticket 760" has three daily shows, including "The Morning Drive, with Andy Everett and Peter Burns, "The Sports Grind" w/Calvin and Rudy (2pm - 4pm, weekdays), and "SportsTalk San Antonio" w/ Mike Taylor and John "Dingus" DeLaRosa (4pm - 7pm, weekdays). Market veteran Everett also hosts the long running "Golf Show", Saturday mornings, 8am - 9am. Depending on weekend play-by-play, Saturday mornings also include Dawn Murphy ("Track Smack," 9am - 11am).
It is also the flagship station of the San Antonio Rampage of the American Hockey League and the San Antonio Silver Stars (WNBA), and the local affiliate of Westwood One's complete NFL package, as well as the Texas Longhorns basketball radio and Texas A&M Aggies football radio networks. KTKR is also an affiliate of the Dallas Cowboys radio network.[1]
760 AM went live on air in 1984, but the FCC assigned the KSJL call letters for 760 in 1982. According to the Radio Broadcasting Yearbook of 1983 it lists KSJL air date 1984. The FCC assigned the KSJL calls to 760. Owned by Inner City Broadcasting at the time.
AM 76 signed on as All Hit 76 KSJL a Top 40 format. Broadcasting in AM Stereo. It would later become part of Super Q 96/76 when Inner City Broadcasting acquired KSLR-FM from C&W Wireless in 1986 as a Contemporary Hit Radio format. In the latter part of 1988 KSJL would become part of the Satellite Music Network (now Citadel)- Z Rock format, dropping the simulcast of 96.1 fm. This would last until 1992 when Satellite Music Network would not renew their Z-rock franchise on the AM band, so Inner City decided to take the Urban route. The Touch The Touch (radio network) format which consisted of Urban Adult Contemporary music aired on said frequency. In 1993 Inner City Broadcasting would sell KSJL-AM to Clear Channel Communications for $725,000, and as a result KSJL was moved to 96.1 replacing 96rock KSAQ-FM.
KSJL-AM would become News/Talk/Sports KZXS-AM (WOAI-760) airing Larry King's radio show.
This was short lived, due to the changing FCC broadcast regulations. As of 1994 FCC regulations prohibit a sister station from broadcasting the same format as the parent station unless they are a simulcast.
KZXS would become KTKR Talk Radio 760, strictly a News/Talk format dropping Sports.
One year later KTKR would drop News/Talk for Sports as the Ticket 760 we now know today.
