KQXX-FM (105.5 MHz) is a commercial FM radio station licensed to Mission, Texas, serving the Rio Grande Valley. It is owned by iHeartMedia through licensee iHM Licenses, LLC.[2] The station broadcasts under the “105.5 & 106.3 Kiss FM” brand in a simulcast with sister station KHKZ (106.3 FM)[3] and airs a hot adult contemporary format.[4][5]

History

[edit]

KQXX-FM began as KITM on 105.5 FM in Mission during the 1980s.[6] In 1990, a sale of KITM from KITM, Inc. to RGV Broadcasting was announced.[7] The station was relaunched in March 1991 as KVTY, branded “Victory 105”, with a contemporary Christian format.[8] By 1992, KVTY had shifted to easy listening and also carried local high school and college sports.[9]

The station was sold again in the early 1990s, and the call sign changed to KTJX in 1993.[10][11] Contemporary radio listings identified KTJX as a Tejano station and recorded it as part of a simulcast with a 106.3 FM station serving the Lower Valley.[12] In February 2000, the station changed its call sign to KBOR-FM.[13]

Clear Channel Communications acquired KQXX-FM and three other Rio Grande Valley stations in 2003 in a $6.5 million transaction.[14] The station subsequently operated as “Oldies 105.5” before adopting a classic rock format under the “105.5 The X” branding.[15][16] In late 2015, KQXX-FM began simulcasting sister station KHKZ and adopted the “Kiss FM 105.5 & 106.3” branding, which remains in use.[17][18]
