KTLH was taken dark on May 8, 2025, in anticipation of transferring the license for the station to Rose Capital City Trust, who will be responsible for divesture of the license if Connoisseur Media is not granted a waiver to own the station as part of its deal to purchase the entirety of Alpha Media's company portfolio. The station has currently been granted a 180 day reprieve from broadcasting.
History
KTLH was first proposed by Alpha Media in early 2018, and received a permit to construct the facility on June 25, 2018. The construction permit was to expire in June 2021, and also forced Chalk Hill Media to move its displaced
Henderson Class D translator, K300CX, which relays AM 1240
KDOK Kilgore, to a new operating channel. Chalk Hill media applied and was granted the move of K300CX to channel 291 (106.1 MHz), making way for the new Hallsville station to sign on.
After a week of testing the new signal with a looped instrumental piece and a basic "107.9 KTLH Hallsville" identification, KTLH joined Alpha Media sister station
KOYE as a simulcast partner of Regional Mexican "La Invasora" on February 19, 2020, returning the format to the Longview/Marshall portion of the market.
