}}KFRO-FM (95.3 FM) is a radio station that broadcasts a Top 40 (CHR) format, that simulcasts KLJT in Jacksonville, Texas. Licensed to Gilmer, Texas, United States, the station serves the Lonvgiew-Marshall area. The station is owned by East Texas Results Media.[1]

History

The station went on the air as KNIF on September 9, 1980, originally owned by Jack Daniels. It was sold to Rick Reynolds and became KAEZ on December 5, 1986. On September 17, 1990, the station changed its call sign to KLSQ, on March 1, 1993 to KFRO-FM, on December 7, 1998 to KCGL, and on February 15, 1999 it returned to the current KFRO-FM,[2]

On August 1, 2016, KFRO-FM and sister stations KLJT, KMPA, and KZXM were taken off the air and the staff of those stations were let go and locked out without warning by Susie Waller, the daughter of the deceased owner of the station, Dudley Waller.[3] The website remained active through mid-August, but it was redirected to a "WordPress For Broadcasters" page due to the aforementioned lockout of staff,[4] plus it could no longer stream any live broadcasts. The staff for "The Morning Madhouse" show apologized and thanked their listeners as well as explaining the incident in detail on the show's Facebook page.[5]

On February 17, 2017, Waller Broadcasting filed for an extension of the Special Temporary Authority allowing KFRO-FM and its 3 sisters to remain silent for an additional 180 days. The application also states that a buyer has been found for the station, and is expected to announce a deal to transfer the four stations licenses, pending F.C.C. approval, within the next 30 days.[6]

On July 3, 2017, KFRO-FM returned to the air (simulcasted by KLJT) as "Fun Radio 102.3 & 95.3", rebirthing the former CHR/Top 40 format it had as "The Breeze".

On October 31, 2017, the license transfer from Waller Broadcasting to East Texas Results Media was granted for KFRO-FM and its 3 sister stations, KZXM, KMPA, and KLJT. Consummation of the deal remains pending.
