History

On January 15, 2009, KTLU changed their format from oldies to classic hits, simulcasting KWRW 97.7 FM.

On May 15, 2015, KTLU split from its simulcast with KWRW 97.7 FM Rusk, TX (which switched to news/talk as KTBB-FM) and rebranded as "Classic Hits 103.9", simulcast on FM translator K280CL 103.9 FM. K280CL simultaneously moved from its original transmission facility in Palestine, Texas to Rusk, Texas effectively replacing the lost KWRW 97.7 allocation that had been licensed to Rusk since 1981. K280CL now operates from the current KTLU (and former KWRW) tower site.

On July 15, 2017, KTLU changed their format from classic hits to classic rock. (info taken from stationintel.com)
