KULF
KULF (1090 kHz) was an AM daytimer radio station, paired with an FM translator, based in Bellville, Texas. Licensed to Bellville, Texas, United States, it served the Victoria and Houston regional area. The station was last owned by James Su, through licensee Trade Route Media, Inc.
The station operated on a Class D daytime license on 1090 kHz. Because KULF shared the same frequency as clear-channel station KAAY in Little Rock, Arkansas, it only broadcast during daytime hours.
The KULF call sign previously resided on 790 AM in Houston from August 1970 to early July 1982.
The station signed on the air in 1974 as Austin County’s first and only licensed radio station. It was owned by Mr. and Mrs. J. Lee Dittert. 1090 was granted the calls of KACO, representing not just service to its community of license Bellville, but to the entire Austin County population. KACO started as a 250-watt daytimer featuring a country & western format.
In 1990, the Dittert family sold the facility to Roy Henderson, with the original KACO call letters being retired in 1993, as 1090 changed its callsign to KFRD, which itself had been located at 980 AM in Rosenberg, Texas, since its sign-on in 1949.
Four years later, 1090 received a grant to change its call letters again and use the KNUZ calls that had occupied 1230 AM in Houston since the 1940s. As KNUZ, and under Roy Henderson's direction, the station simulcasted "Lite 94.1" KLTR out of Brenham.
In November 2009, the facility dropped the KNUZ call letters and briefly used KBAL, until a switch could be made with the co-owned facility in San Saba. As a result of the call switch, the KNUZ calls are now used for 106.1 FM in San Saba, the former KBAL.
In December 2009, the station was sold for a reported $500,000 by Roy E. Henderson to JHT Ventures, Inc., 100% controlled by Janice Hollan. JHT sold KULF to Jerome Friemel's JLF Communications, LLC at a purchase price of $10,000; the transaction was consummated on January 29, 2013. 1090 returned to the air with an oldies format stunt that lasted until paid programming could be secured for the signal to air. Once that occurred, the temporary oldies format was dropped and replaced with Spanish language Christian programming "La Luz". This programming would prove to be short lived as well.
