KTJK (101.7 FM, "The Raider") is an FM variety hits radio station serving the area around Abilene, Texas and licensed to nearby Hawley.

History[]

KTJK began airing content under a new commercial license in late winter 2018, adopting its current variety hits format after a seasonal broadcast of all Christmas music.[1] The license and equipment was purchased in spring 2021 by WesTex Telco.[2] KTJK is held by local community ownership and is operated by local staff.

Branding[]

The station's identity as "101.7 The Raider" is a direct reference to the presence of Dyess Air Force Base in the local community.[3] The United States Air Force has announced Dyess AFB as one of the operational bases of the under-development US heavy bomber, the Northrop Grumman B-21 Raider.
