KVLX


KVLX is a radio station owned by Educational Media Foundation licensed to Franklin, Texas with studios in Bryan, Texas. The station carries EMF's K-LOVE contemporary Christian music format. The transmitter is located in Hearne, Texas.

History

The station first existed as KCRM from June 1, 1982 to December 27, 1993, before changing its call sign to KHLR. On April 9, 2001, the station's call sign became KXCS, which it kept until receiving the call sign of KJXJ on March 29, 2007.

KXCS

KXCS used the slogans "103.9 XCS, Everything That Rocks" and "Aggieland's New Rock Alternative, 103.9 The X", and once carried the Lex and Terry and Loveline programs.

Transition to KJXJ

On the evening of March 19, 2007, DJs announced that the station was changing from the Rock/Alternative Rock format. The last DJs that night were Kira McKinney to 10 PM, and Dex Peck from 10 PM-midnight. The last songs under the old format: "I Ran " by A Flock of Seagulls; "Snakes on a Plane " by Cobra Starship; "Joker and the Thief" by Wolfmother; "Teenage Dirtbag" by Wheatus; and "Another One Bites the Dust" by Queen, dedicated by Dex to a list of staffers.
The transition day of March 20th was a confusing and motley collection of music not conforming to a single genre. Across the course of the day, listeners heard a bizarre mixture of rap, classic rock, show tunes, TV theme songs, reggae, easy listening, and others. Shortly after midnight, the audio feed abruptly cut off in the middle of a long string of Irish Drinking Songs, and suddenly new programming came over the air, identifying the broadcast as a Jack FM station. On April 3, 2007, this station began identifying itself as KJXJ.

Return to rock

On September 20, 2010, KJXJ abandoned the Jack format and became "Rock 103.9."

ESPN Aggieland

On March 2, 2015, KJXJ changed their format from rock to sports, branded as "ESPN Aggieland".

103.9 The Wolf

On October 17, 2016, KJXJ changed their format from sports to classic rock, branded as "103.9 The Wolf".

Sale to Educational Media Foundation

On March 29, 2018, it was announced that Educational Media Foundation would purchase KJXJ from Brazos Valley Communications for $325,000. On April 6th, a modification was filed with the FCC which changed the facility from commercial to non-commercial status, as required by law, given EMF's status as a non-commercial operator. The purchase closed on June 26, 2018, at which point EMF changed the station's call sign to KVLX, as "103-9 The Wolf" transitioned to Bryan-College Station's full powered "K-Love" affiliate.
