The station previously has had an Adult Contemporary format, known as KLLS, or "Klassy 100", until switching to country.[2] It is headquartered in Suite 600 at 8122 Datapoint Drive in San Antonio.[3] Its transmitter site is in unincorporated Bexar County near Government Canyon.

History

During the 70s the station was KSAQ ("Q-100") which had a contemporary top-40 Format. KMFM was on 96.1 playing a middle of the road format. By the early 1980s KMFM flipped to KSLR 96.1 FM Son Light Radio as a Christian format. Salem communications acquired rock formatted KMAC 630AM and flipped it to KSLR 630 and KSAQ moved to 96.1FM/760 "Super Q" and KLLS 100.3 was reborn as Adult Contemporary "Class 100 FM."
