KXXF (105.3 FM) is a radio station licensed to the city of Winnie, Texas. It began broadcasting in 1989 under the call sign KRTX, licensed to Galveston. KXXF is owned and operated by John Walton's Excel Media, L.L.C. Its studios are located in Beaumont and its transmitter is in Winnie.

History

105.3 FM (then 104.9) was assigned the call sign KRTX on July 14, 1987 and was licensed to Galveston. On July 19, 1996, the call sign was changed to KLTP. The call sign was changed to KLTO on August 1, 1998. On November 8, 2004, the call sign was changed to KPTI and the station was now simulcasting sister station KPTY which was broadcasting on 104.9 FM in Deer Park, Texas. The station was completely re-constructed after being totally destroyed by Hurricane Ike in September 2008.

On February 28, 2014, Excel Media purchased KPTY from Univision[1] for a purchase price of $525,000, and changed its call letters to KXXF on March 21, 2014.[2]

On April 8, 2014, KXXF ended stunting of running non-stop "The Walton & Johnson Show" episodes and launched a Texas-focused adult hits format (encompassing country, blues, rock, and classic hits) branded as "105.3 Free", and continuing to utilize The Walton & Johnson Show for AM drive.

On September 4, 2017, the station moved from adult hits to classic country while keeping the "105.3 Free" branding.

Previous KPTY stations

Before moving to Texas, The KPTY call sign was used on a Phoenix/Mesa, Arizona-based radio station on 103.9 FM from 1997-2001. That station now operates under KZON. The KPTY call sign had also been used on KQBU-FM and KAMA-FM in Texas.
