KRPT (92.5
History
The station first signed on November 17, 1982 on the 92.1 FM frequency as KDCI with a middle of the road music format.[2] The station changed its call sign to KTXX in June 1985,[3] and later moved to 92.5 FM.
In August 1998, KTXX-FM Inc. president Kahn Hamon sold the station to
On March 17, 2005, the station adopted the call sign KRPT to match its new
On September 19, 2012, KRPT added an FM translator station, K289BN (105.7 MHz), and changed formats to rhythmic contemporary as "Wild 92.5/105.7". K289BN previously carried the programming of WOAI.[6]
On February 22, 2013, KRPT changed their format to classic country, branded as "92.5 "K-BUC".[7] The "WiLD" format continued on 105.7 and 101.9-HD3 until being replaced by a regional Mexican format as "La Preciosa" on January 20, 2014.
On June 24, 2015, KRPT began simulcasting on sister station KZEP-FM's HD3 subchannel and translator K227BH (93.3 FM) in San Antonio.[8]
On October 29, 2015, KRPT and K227BH/KZEP-FM-HD3 rebranded as "92.5 and 93.3 The Bull", making no changes to music or disc jockeys. This was a preemptive action by iHeartMedia following a report that rival company Alpha Media had a website, nearly completed, indicating that a flip of KHHL to country as "103.1 The Bull" was imminent.[9]
