KTBB (600 AM) and KTBB-FM (92.1 FM) and are a pair of American radio stations broadcasting a News-Talk format on the AM and a sports radio format on the FM. Both licensed to Tyler, Texas, USA, the stations serve the Tyler-Longview area. The stations are currently owned by Gleiser Communications, LLC.[1][2]
History
KTBB-FM
The 92.1 frequency traces its roots back to the 1970s as KROZ ("K-Rose").
During its lifetime, it has aired country music ("Tyler Rose Country"), rock, and Urban contemporary music formats (as "Z92.1" while keeping the KROZ calls) and included local personalities such as Hoss Huggins, Alex Price, Joel Hardy, Mike O'Neill, Bill Davis, Paul Berry, and Mick Fulgham.
The station flipped to a 1950s/1960s oldies format and took the KGLD calls on February 9, 1992. On August 24, 1993, the station changed its call sign to KDOK.[3] KTBB (600 AM) has had the same call sign since it signed on.[4]
On April 27, 2009, KDOK dropped the oldies format for a syndication of the news/talk and sports programming on sister station KTBB. The call sign was also changed to KTBB-FM to match KTBB.[5]
On May 7, 2009 the KDOK calls and oldies format were moved to 1240 AM in Kilgore, TX. The station on that frequency was previously known as KBGE.
Programming
KTBB (600 AM) broadcasts the syndicated radio shows The Glenn Beck Show, The Rush Limbaugh Show, and The Sean Hannity Show on weekdays.
On August 6, 2011, KTBB-FM changed formats from consumer information based talk radio programming over to ESPN Radio. The subsequent change in format also led to change the branding of the radio station to "ESPN East Texas 92.1 FM". ESPN East Texas now offers the full lineup of ESPN Radio programming as well as local programs such as "Sportstalk with Bill Coats" and "The Eric Sullivan Show".
