[edit] History
The station is licensed to Azle, Texas, with a transmitter site located north of Decatur, Texas. These call letters were first selected by Tony Rodriguez son of Spanish Radio Pioneer Marcos Rodriguez, Sr. and assigned to 104.9 FM in Dallas.
It is owned and operated by Liberman Broadcasting, a Spanish-language media company, which bought out some of Entravision's radio assetts on August 4, 2006. [1] Before KTCY-FM was bought by Liberman Broadcasting, the station played the same Spanish-language pop music but with different DJs and programming. On May, 12, 2007, the station's branding name was changed from "Concierto 101.7" to the branding name "XO 101.7". Prior to "Concierto" name, the station used "SuperEstrella 101.7". The station continues to be operated by Libermann and with the same DJ's and programming but under a new name. "Concierto 101.7"'s" solgan was "La música se escucha mejor, en Concierto! 101.7!" Now, the station's slogan is "La música romantica de tu generación, XO, 101 punto 7."
[edit] Programming
The station's programming consists of Spanish-language pop music 24 hours a day with DJ shows from 6am-12am on weekdays (Mondays-Fridays) only and live shows on Friday evenings at 'Discotecas' like Escape 2009 and Jaro Café in Dallas, where DJ mixes of songs usually played on the radio station, are played non-stop by local Disc Jockies, which are not those of the radio station.
In the morning, "Yogi, el oso de la mañana" is broadcasted, while in the afternoons "Los Clasicos de XO" broadcasts without a DJ, classic spanish language pop music.
The station's broadcast language is Castilian (Spanish), but since the beginning of 2008, English language commercials are broadcasted. The station's DJ's are of a majority from Mexico, speaking only Spanish, unlike other Libberman owned Spanish-language stations who are directed toward Spanish speakers, but have English speaking DJs, like in La Casa 106.7 and Univision Radio's La Calle 99.1.
