KZXM (94.3 FM, "94.3 Real Country") is a terrestrial FM classic country music radio station licensed to Bullard, Texas. The station is owned by East Texas Results Media. [1]
History
On August 1, 2016, KZXM and sister stations KMPA, KFRO-FM, and KLJT were taken off the air and the staff of both formats were let go and locked out by Susie Waller, the daughter of the deceased owner of the station, Dudley Waller.[2]
On February 17, 2017, Waller Broadcasting filed for an extension of the Special Temporary Authority allowing KZXM and its 3 sisters to remain silent for an additional 180 days. The application also states that a buyer has been found for the stations, and is expected to announce a deal to transfer the four stations licenses, pending F.C.C. approval, within the next 30 days. [3]
On July 4, 2017, KZXM returned to the air after 11 months of silence, as "94.3 The Bull" airing a country music format featuring current & recurrent country artists. Its former simulcast companion, KMPA, returned accordingly, yet as the Regional Mexican format both stations had utilized prior to the shut down, renamed "Super 103.1".
On October 31, 2017, the license transfer from Waller Broadcasting to East Texas Results Media was granted for KZXM and its 3 sister stations, KFRO-FM, KMPA, and KLJT. Consummation of the deal was filed with the Federal Communications Commission on March 28, 2018.
On September 26, 2018 KZXM changed their format from country to classic country, branded as "94.3 Real Country".[4]
