History
The station signed on the air on November 26, 1936. It has always had the call sign KTEM. Originally it broadcast on 1370 kilocycles and was powered at 250 watts. It was a daytimer, required to go off the air at sunset. The studios were in the Kyle Hotel.[2]
With the 1941 enactment of the North American Regional Broadcasting Agreement (NARBA), KTEM moved to 1400 AM. It kept its 250 watt transmitter but was authorized to broadcast both day and night.[3] It became a network affiliate of the Mutual Broadcasting System, carrying its news, sports, dramas and comedies during the "Golden Age of Radio."
In the 1960s and 70s, KTEM broadcast a Top 40 format, playing the top hits of the day.[4] In 1975, KTEM added an FM station, KPLE 104.9 MHz, airing a beautiful music sound. That station is now 104.3 KLQB in the Austin area.
As listening to Top 40 music switched from AM to FM in the 1980s, KTEM shifted to a mix of adult contemporary music, news, talk and sports. By the 1990s, the music was eliminated as KTEM switched to all-talk programming.
