KNIN-FM (92.9
radio station broadcasting a Top 40 (CHR) format. The station serves the Wichita Falls, Texas, area. KNIN-FM is owned by Townsquare Media.[4]
History
The station was built in late 1973 and early 1974, signing on as KBID and owned by the Mustang Broadcasting Company. The callsign changed to KNIN-FM in 1981 when KNIN (990 AM) acquired it. KNIN-FM was Wichita Falls' affiliate for Dan Ingram's Top 40 Satellite Survey. In 1988, the station dropped its CHR formula to twitch into a short-lived Rock 40 format, similar to Dallas-Fort Worth's KEGL right around the time KEGL began fading out their rock format, but had dropped its flavor in 1990.
Moran Broadcasting Company sold KNIN-FM to Apex Broadcasting in 1997; Apex was bought by
GAP Broadcasting of Dallas who later merged with current owner Townsquare Media
in 2010.
