History
editKONO-FM first signed on the air on February 18, 1971, as KNAF-FM, the sister station to KNAF (AM) in Fredericksburg, Texas.[2] At first it simulcast the country music format on the AM station, but by the mid-1970s it had a separately programmed beautiful music format. It later took the call letters KFAN, as an adult album alternative station. The station then moved to the San Antonio media market as KONO-FM, simulcasting KONO from May 1990 until KONO changed its format to sports radio in January 2014. During that time, KBKK (107.9 FM) in Johnson City started broadcasting KFAN's previous Adult Alternative format. About a year later it acquired the KFAN-FM call sign.
