KKYS (104.7
History
Radio Sungroup of Bryan-College Station was granted a
The
In 1989, KKYS was granted a minor modification to move its operating frequency down one channel to the current 284 (104.7 MHz) to accommodate an upgrade of a co-channel facility located on 104.9 near Llano, allowing that facility to move into the Austin market. That station currently operates in the Austin market as sports station "104.9 The Horn", licensed as KTXX-FM Bee Cave, Texas. KKYS was granted a License to Cover on the new 104.7 frequency on September 5, 1990.
On January 16, 1998, the station's callsign was briefly switched to KOZN as a stunt, but quickly switched back to KKYS later on the same day. The station has been hot adult contemporary since the late 1990s.
The station was consulted by Bob Mitchell and was the number one rated station in the market for many years until it was purchased by Clear Channel.
Past air staff includes: Ryan "Rhino" O'Brien, Harold Presley, Chace Murphy, Scotty Love, Robin Cunningham, Logan Stone, Famous James, and Darren "Taylor" Prater and morning co-hosts Barb, Jules and Dee.
The majority of the airshifts on the station are now voice tracked with a syndicated morning show.
