KTDK was a radio station with studios located in Sanger, Texas, United States formerly under ownership of Cumulus Media. Previously, they simulcasted KTCK SportsRadio 1310 The Ticket.

History

The station was granted a construction permit in 1988 as KWSM in Sherman, co-owned with KTXO (1500 AM, now KJIM); it began broadcasting in December 1989.^[1] In its early years, KWSM programmed a classic hits format.^[1] In 1993 the station was awarded a city of license change to its current location in Sanger; when the new facility signed on in 1994, KWSM changed its format to classic country music. From 1997 to 1999, 104.1 has seen several callsign changes beginning with a change to KXIL. A year later, Susquehanna Radio Corporation acquired the station, changed callsigns to KXZN and simulcasted KKZN "93.3 The Zone" (classic rock). The following year, 104.1 changed callsigns again to KMRR to allocate with 93.3's change to an adult alternative format as KKMR "Merge 93.3" (that station is now Top 40 as KLIF-FM i93).

The Ticket's station logo used 2001-2013.

On May 2001, 104.1 changed callsigns to KTDK and began to simulcast KTCK; this arrangement would continue for the remaining 12 years of 104.1's operation, even after Susquehanna Radio's merger with Cumulus Media in 2005 and Cumulus' acquisition of Citadel Broadcasting in 2011. In 2013, Cumulus announced that it inked a local marketing agreement with Disney's KESN ESPN 103.3. For the deal to happen, Cumulus placed KTDK for sale to Whitley Media. However on September 20, 2013; the Federal Communications Commission rejected the sale citing that the license transfer is not a true sale in that all economic risk would remain with Cumulus as Whitley would get the same brokerage fee regardless of the price he sells the station for, Cumulus would remain the defacto owner of the station.^[2]

On October 7, 2013 the simulcast of KTCK was dropped so that Cumulus' LMA of KESN would take effect the following day and that the said simulcast would be moving to WBAP-FM 96.7. Following this move, and after the 2013 government shutdown was over, Cumulus surrendered the license for KTDK to the FCC.^[3] The station’s call letters have been deleted and the allocation will likely become available in a future spectrum auction.
