History
The construction permit for KWBY in Edna, Texas, was issued to Cosmopolitan Broadcasting on July 23, 1969, nearly five years after an application was made, but it would be more than a decade before 1130 was built. The original CP holder, Cosmopolitan Enterprises, went bankrupt in 1977; the station was sold out of bankruptcy to Vic-Jax Broadcasting Corporation, which signed it on in 1979 as KQTI.
Prior to its current programming, KTMR was a religious station, then business talk, then country (KAML simulcast).
