WACO-FM
WACO-FM (99.9 MHz, "WACO 100") is a commercial radio station in Waco, Texas. It airs a country music radio format and is owned by iHeartMedia, Inc. The studios and offices are located on West Highway 6 in Southwest Waco. The transmitter is off Tower Drive in McLennan County in the community of Moody, amid towers for other local FM and TV stations.
WACO-FM has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 90,000 watts, broadcasting from a tower 1,660 feet (505.968 m) in height above average terrain (HAAT). The station brands itself as "WACO 100, a station so big they named the entire city after it." The station can be heard from Dallas/Ft. Worth to Austin.
Weekdays begin with the "Zack & Jim Show" hosted by Zack Owen & Jim Cody. The rest of the daytime and evening schedule is made up of local DJs. Overnight, WACO-FM carries the syndicated CMT After Midnight with Cody Alan. During the lunch hour, country classics are heard.
Notable weekend programming includes "The Best of Zack and Jim" highlight show on Saturday mornings and Bob Kingsley's "Country Top 40" on weekends.
WACO-FM signed on in June 1960, it was the FM counterpart to AM 1460 WACO, which had been owned by the Waco Broadcasting Company since its founding in 1922. WACO-AM-FM simulcast a country music format and were affiliated with ABC Radio News. WACO-FM was powered at 3,900 watts, a fraction of its current output.
In the late 1960s, WACO-FM switched to an automated easy listening format while the AM station continued to play country music. In July 1973, the FM station switched call letters to KHOO and adopted a Country format. On September 1, 1979, KHOO switched to Adult Contemporary. In October 1987, the station returned back to its original call letters, WACO-FM, relaunching with a brighter AC format. In February 1989, the station switched its call letters to KTKS, using the same call letters and branding ("Kiss") that had previously been on KHKS/Dallas.
On February 7, 1990, 99.9 flipped back to its original call letters, WACO-FM, dropped its AC format, and switched back to country music, initially simulcasting its AM sister station outside of morning drive. In 1991, the branding was changed from "FM 100" to the current "WACO 100." In 1996, the AM station was sold and switched to all-sports as KKTK, while the country music continued on WACO-FM.
WACO-FM was bought by Capstar Broadcasting, which was later acquired by Clear Channel Communications, a forerunner of current owner iHeartMedia.
