History
[edit]This station was assigned call sign KTFR on April 9, 1992,[5] and originally licensed to Claremore, Oklahoma. The station officially launched on March 1, 2001, and its city of license moved to Chelsea.[1] The station began as a simulcast for Contemporary Christian station KXOJ-FM in Sapulpa.[1]
On April 25, 2013, Stephens Media Group sold KTFR (along with KCXR and KEMX) to Roger Chasteen's ABS Communications, Inc. for $500,000.[6] The sale would allow Stephens to acquire KMYZ-FM and KTSO.[7] The sale was completed in June and KTFR dropped its KXOJ simulcast.[7]
On June 15, 2015, it was announced that ABS Communications would sell KTFR, KCXR, and KEMX to Key Plus Broadcasting, LLC for $800,000.[8][9] The sale was completed on August 19.[10]
