History[]

KOGT signed on January 16, 1948,^[3] under the ownership of the Sabine Area Broadcasting Corporation.^[4] The station began its country music format in 1966,^[5] though during the early 1970s it programmed rock at night.^[6]

Sabine Area Broadcasting sold KOGT to the owners of KVUE in Austin, which included Allan Shivers, for $488,000 in 1976,^[7] a transaction approved by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) the following year;^[4] all but Shivers also owned KNET in Palestine.^[7] This group sold KOGT to Klement Broadcasting for $900,000 in 1982; the new owner, Richard Klement, was a real estate investor in Gainesville, Texas, and owner of that city's KGAF AM-FM.^[8]

Klement sold KOGT to G-Cap Communications, controlled by Gary P. Stelly, for $250,000 in 1992.^[9] Stelly had previously worked at KOGT in college.^[3] On December 28, 2021, Stelly announced that KOGT would shut down on December 31, in part due to a "changing media";^[3] the announcement did not disclose if the station's license would be sold or surrendered to the FCC.^[10]
