History

On March 22, 1987, the station

signed on as KAPT.^[4] It was owned by Mark Grubbs, who also served as general manager. The station debuted with a hybrid Top 40/Country music format under the name "Capital FM," with the call sign

spelling out "Kapital." (Austin is the capital of Texas.)

KAPT found little initial success against established Top 40 stations

KHFI and KBTS (now KGSR). The station experimented with other formats including beautiful music, country music "The Country Kat" KATG,^[5] oldies "Froggy 94" KFGI, and Dance/CHR

"Party 94.7" KPTY.

In 1994, the Amaturo Radio Group bought the station for $2.5 million.

Infinity Broadcasting.^[7] Infinity was later merged into CBS Radio

.

Over time, KAMX moved from Modern AC to

Entercom, including KAMX. The ownership change became official on November 30, 2007.^[8]

Coincidentally, CBS Radio merged into Entercom in 2017, with most of the former CBS Radio stations now owned by Entercom.

In the fall of 2008, morning duo J.B. & Sandy renewed their contracts with Entercom for five years, keeping them on the air through the end of 2013 at which time their contracts were not renewed.
