History[]
The station was issued a Construction Permit on April 29, 1969, and became fully licensed as KJFF on December 1, 1969.[1] It first aired a beautiful music format. On October 28, 1981, it changed its call sign to KTXY and became an adult contemporary format. Shortly later on, it would later twitch the format into Top 40/CHR as Music 107, marking it one out of 2 dominant CHR stations in the mid-Missouri area at the period, with the other being KCMQ. Its current name Y107 was introduced in 1988. On October 5, 1992, its call letters were changed to KKFA for a short period of time before returning back to its KTXY call letters a year later on October 11, 1993. After its competitor, KCMQ, dropped its CHR format in 1994, KTXY became the only dominant CHR station for the mid-Missouri region.[2]
