KDLK-FM
History
On February 5, 1965, Queen City Broadcasting Company applied to build a new FM radio station in Del Rio at 94.3 MHz. The Federal Communications Commission approved the application on November 22, 1965, and KDLK-FM signed on August 15, 1966, a separately programmed outlet from KDLK (1230 AM). KDLK-AM-FM was sold in 1968 to Western Plains Broadcasting Corporation, headed by Gerald R. Mazur, for $185,000. Rodney Robertson acquired Western Plains in 1972; he moved the KDLK stations into a new house and outfitted the FM with stereo capability for the first time. KDLK-FM programmed a country music format, complementing the Top 40 sound of the AM frequency.
Forum Broadcasting acquired KDLK-AM-FM in 1976 for $165,000. The call letters for the FM station were changed to KLKE on June 4, 1979; the two stations exchanged call letters in 1986, making 94.3 FM KDLK-FM again. KDLK-FM moved to 94.1 MHz in 2002.
After more than 40 years of ownership, Forum sold its Del Rio stations in 2018 to Suday Investment Group, led by Jorge Suday, for $440,000. The sale was consummated on April 4, 2019.
