KIXY-FM (94.7 FM) is a radio station that serves the San Angelo, Texas area with a Top 40 (CHR) format. The station is owned by Foster Communications. The station went on air January 1, 1967 (per Broadcasting Yearbook http://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-BC-YB/1970/B%20N-Ter%20BC%20YB%201970%20All-3.pdf). 94.7 FM joined 1260 AM (which signed on in 1954). 94.7 was a simulcast by day of 1260 and continued the AM format by nights. Call letters were variously KWFR and KIXY. KWFR stood for "Walton Foster Radio".
The FM antenna has always been colocated with 1260 near 27th and Volney. The original shorter tower hosted 94.7 at 39kilowatts at 140 feet above average terrain. In the early eighties, FM raised height to 400 feet and power to 100,000 watts. The taller tower raised the AM efficiency and AM power was reduced to 540 watts to maintain constant coverage.
The station was always very promotionally oriented. Studios were for many years located at City Hall Plaza with near fishbowl style studios.
