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 after, it would switch the format to Top 40/CHR as Music 107, marking it one of two 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 before returning to KTXY on October 11, 1993. After competitor KCMQ dropped its CHR format in 1994, KTXY became the only dominant CHR station for the mid-Missouri region.[2] Since 2001, its main competitor is similarly formatted KOQL.
