KFXR (AM)
KFXR (1190 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station in Dallas, Texas, and serving the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex. It is owned by iHeartMedia and airs a Conservative talk radio format. Its studios and offices are located along Dallas Parkway in Farmers Branch (with a Dallas address).
KFXR is a Class B station. By day, it is powered at 50,000 watts, the maximum for commercial AM stations. Its daytime transmitter is in Irving, using a directional antenna with a four-tower array. At night, to avoid interfering with other stations on 1190 AM, it reduces power to 5,000 watts. Its nighttime transmitter is in Rockwall, using a twelve-tower array directional antenna.
While it is owned by iHeartMedia, KFXR does not have access to two of the most popular talk programs syndicated by iHeart's Premiere Networks. The Sean Hannity Show and Coast to Coast AM with George Noory are found on KLIF (570 AM). KFXR does carry three Premiere Networks weekday talk shows, The Glenn Beck Radio Program, The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show and The Jesse Kelly Show. Weekday programs from other syndicators include This Morning, America's First News with Gordon Deal, The Dana Loesch Show, The Joe Pags Show and The Michael Berry Show based at co-owned KTRH Houston.
Paid brokered programming shows are heard on weekends, as well as syndicated programs including The High-Tech Texan Show with Michael Garfield, Armstrong & Getty, The Pet Show with Warren Eckstein and Tom Gresham's Gun Talk. Live sports include Texas Tech Red Raiders football and men's basketball, along with FC Dallas soccer games. World and national news from Fox News Radio starts most hours, while local news is provided by Fox television station KDFW.
The station signed on the air on November 9, 1947. Its first call sign was KLIF.
The station was owned by Trinity Broadcasting, with studios in a 12th floor penthouse apartment in Cliff Towers. At first it was a daytimer, powered at 1,000 watts and sign off at sunset each night. By the early 1950s, it got a power boost to 5,000 watts by day and 1,000 watts at night.
KLIF achieved recognition in radio broadcasting through the efforts of noted programmer Gordon McLendon. The station became Dallas' and one of the nation's biggest top 40 radio stations. It virtually defined the hit music format for 1950s and 1960s top 40 radio, reaching an over 50 share in the Dallas ratings, an unparalleled ratings success.
In 1954, KLIF switched from a varied music and talk format to one that focused on hit songs with periodic news. McLendon collected the names of local leaders in business and government, and worked them into news on the station. McLendon said there were only two things that radio could compete with television on, "music and news". KLIF was headquartered at KLIF Triangle Point Studios from 1964 to 1980. It is a street front building with large windows where pedestrians and Downtown Dallas shoppers could look in the studio and see the action of live broadcasts. KLIF was known for its promotions which included top 40 surveys with photo shoots of the disc jockeys. Other photos showed the broadcast staff at live promotion events. KLIF hosted live music shows in different parts of Dallas. The announcers often toured the city in KLIF radio vehicles.
