History
KSEL was the second radio station established in Lubbock, signing on in 1947. KCBD 1590 was third in 1949 and KFYO was the first, established in Lubbock in 1932.
In late 1999, the then-KXTQ-AM ended its simulcast of co-owned Magic 93.7 KXTQ-FM, changed its call sign to KJTV and debuted a News/Talk/Sports format. The new format's morning show was originally hosted by Jeff Klotzman and Jane Prince-Jones with Mike Stephens anchoring news. "News Radio 950" also simulcast sister-station FOX 34's News @ 9 newscasts, aired the Associated Press' nationally syndicated All-News news wheel, Dallas Cowboys games, and for the 2000 season- Texas Tech Red Raider Baseball. Klotzman also served as the News Director and main anchor for FOX 34 News @ 9 while he hosted the morning show.
In March 2001, KJTV began airing Texas Rangers games as part of an expanded affiliation with the KRLD-based Texas State Network.
