History
The station went on the air as KVSF on February 14, 1992. On July 23, 2002, the station changed its call sign to the current KTRC.[6]
The station was purchased by American General Media in 2000 from Withers Broadcasting Co. in a $7 million deal that included KVSF 1400 AM, KQBA 107.5 FM, KLBU 94.7 FM and KVCN 106.7 FM.[7] KTRC was acquired by Hutton Broadcasting in 2008.[8] All these stations except 106.7 were eventually acquired by Hutton.
Hutton Broadcasting had a construction permit to move translator K235CO from Socorro to Santa Fe to broadcast this station on the FM band at 103.7. The translator was licensed for the new facility as K279CX effective February 21, 2018.
