, making that change late 1972-1973. This format lasted until at least 1976. In the summer of 1986, the station changed its format to a mainstream pop
station that would later evolve into Rhythmic Top 40
by 1988. The station at this time was owned by Waterman Broadcasting of Texas. KTFM was the Dominant Top-40 station competing with then KSAQ Q96, which would become KXXM

In 2000, the Top-40 market would be shook up by the arrival of a Move-in at the 98.5 Frequency. KBBT was launched as "The Beat", a new Hip-Hop heavy Rhythmic
format which quickly climbed up in the ratings. In August 2001, KTFM would go after KBBT by changing from Mainstream Top-40 to a more Rhythmic Based Top-40 as "Wild 102-7". KBBT had the Hip Hop music
audience, and KTFM started to see their ratings slide down.
With KTFM competing with Rhythmic KBBT as well as KXXM, ratings were slipping for the Heritage KTFM. In March 2000, Waterman Reached a deal to sell KTFM
and KTSA
to Infinity Broadasting.
Infinity also owned Sister then Top-40 KRBV "Wild 100" (now KJKK in Dallas) with the same format looking to bring down KBBT 98.5 "The Beat. Infinity would finally throw in the towel and drop "Wild 102-7". KTFM reverted back to mainstream Top-40 with some Rock cuts mixed in. By October 2003 KTFM 102.7 "San Antonio's Original Hit Music Station" called it quits as a CHR and flipped to Rock

Hybrid format known as K-ROCK; the call letters would become KSRX. On 1/1/2006 after a "Free FM" stunt, like the other stations that were to flip to Jack across the country, KSRX was dropped in favor of the popular "Jack" style format. 102.7 became 102.7 "Jack" FM with the "KXJK" calls.
In August 2006 CBS Radio sold KXJK and KTSA to Houston's Border Media for $45 Million dollars. BMP Media would Revive the KTFM
calls in 2005 on 94.1 FM, which has since reverted back to its Legendary Top-40 format.
