KCOR (1350 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station broadcasting a Spanish-language Sports Talk radio format. Licensed to San Antonio, Texas, United States, the station serves the San Antonio metropolitan area. The station is owned by Univision Radio, under a license with the Tichenor License Corporation, and features programming from the Univision Deportes Radio Network.[1] The station also broadcasts on KXTN-FM's HD2 signal. Its studios and transmitter are located separately in Northwest San Antonio.

On December 20, 2016, Univision announced that KCOR would be one of the charter affiliates of the company's new Spanish-language sports network, Univision Deportes Radio. The launch occurred in March 2017.[2] From 2014 to 2015, the station had been simulcasting the Tejano music format of co-owned KXTN-FM. It also programmed Spanish-language talk at various times before switching to sports.

History

The station first signed on in 1946 as a 1,000-watt daytimer, owned by Raoul A. Cortez.[3] The call sign contains the first three letters of his last name. KCOR has been mostly Hispanic-owned and programmed through its seven-plus decades on the air.
