History

The station went on the air as KVSF on February 14, 1992. On July 23, 2002, the station changed its call sign to the current KTRC.[6]

The station was purchased by American General Media in 2000 from Withers Broadcasting Co. in a $7 million deal that included KVSF 1400 AM, KQBA 107.5 FM, KLBU 94.7 FM and KVCN 106.7 FM.[7] KTRC was acquired by Hutton Broadcasting in 2008.[8] All these stations except 106.7 were eventually acquired by Hutton.
