History

The station first signed on November 17, 1982 on the 92.1 FM frequency as KDCI with a middle of the road music format. The station changed its call sign to KTXX in June 1985 and later moved to 92.5 FM.
In August 1998, KTXX-FM Inc. president Kahn Hamon sold the station to San Antonio-based Clear Channel Communications for $1.5 million; at the time of the sale, it aired a country music format. A month later, the station changed its call letters to KSJL-FM and flipped to urban adult contemporary as a simulcast of KSJL. On February 20, 2004, KSJL-FM changed its format to rhythmic contemporary with the branding "Hot 92-5"; new call letters KHTY followed on June 9, 2004.
On March 17, 2005, the station adopted the call sign KRPT to match its new progressive talk format. The lineup featured a program hosted by television talk show personality Jerry Springer in the mornings. This format lasted only until Thanksgiving weekend, when KRPT launched an all Texas country music format known as "92.5 The Outlaw". On April 15, 2010, KRPT switched to a conservative talk radio format, branded as "92.5 The Patriot". KRPT restored most of KPWT's lineup which was dropped when that station flipped to classic rock on April 1.
On September 19, 2012, KRPT added an FM translator station, K289BN and changed formats to rhythmic CHR as "Wild 92.5/105.7".
On February 22, 2013, KRPT changed their format to classic country, branded as "92.5 "K-BUC". The "WiLD" format continued on 105.7 and 101.9-HD3 until being replaced by a regional Mexican format as "La Preciosa" on January 20, 2014.
On June 24, 2015, KRPT began simulcasting on sister station KZEP-FM's HD3 subchannel and translator K227BH in San Antonio.
On October 29, 2015, KRPT and K227BH/KZEP-FMHD3 rebranded as "92.5 and 93.3 The Bull", making no changes to music or disc jockeys. This was a preemptive action by iHeartMedia following a report that rival radio company Alpha Media had a website, nearly completed, indicating that a flip of KHHL to country as "103.1 The Bull" was imminent.
