History

KLTD went on the air on May 31, 1976 and was licensed to The Lampasas Broadcasting Company owned by Stephen Sampson. The station was branded, "The Great Ones". Group & Broadcasting of Tulsa, OK acquired KLTD in mid 1977.

On October 1, 2010 KLTD changed their format from mainstream rock (as "Eagle 101.7") to sports, branded as "The Ticket".

On March 15, 2013, at 5 PM, the station began stunting as "The Bone" with "music for dogs." The stunt lasted until the following Monday, when a new permanent format debuted as classic hits, branded as "K101.7".[2]
