History

KCOH is born; Looking Glass Studios come to life

The station began broadcasting in

, when AM 1430 was sold to La Promesa.

KCOH programs included "Gospel Melody Time", "Person to Person", "Roex Health Update", "Confessions", "Making Memories", "Sports Rap", "Passion Zone", "This is for Grown Folks", "Person to Person Saturday Morning", and "Just us Oldies". In addition, KCOH was the Houston affiliate carrying University of Oklahoma football and men's basketball games.

In 2007, the station asked for donations from Houston's

African American community; the owners threatened to sell the station to radio brokers.[5]

In 2008, the Houston Press named the station as the "best radio station."[6]

Sale to La Promesa; flip to Catholic radio

In November 2012, the Midland, Texas La Promesa Foundation acquired the station, and announced plans to launch programming in February 2013 through the Catholic-oriented Guadalupe Radio Network. The purchase by La Promesa was consummated on February 28, 2013 at a price of $2.141 million.

On October 19, 2016, La Promesa Foundation consummated a deal which sees them acquire translator K241CO, licensed to

U.S. Highway 290
in Jersey Village, Texas to rebroadcast 1430. The translator was successfully moved to the new site in Jersey Village, and was licensed on April 27, 2017. The translator was subsequently moved to Houston effective January 24, 2018.
