KCLE (1460 AM) is a radio station, in Burleson, Texas. It serves the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex and is under ownership of Tron Dinh Do, through licensee Intelli, LLC.
This station began broadcasting in 1922 as WACO in Waco, owned by three men, including Frank P. Jackson, J. M. Gilliam, and Orville Bullington of Wichita Falls, the 1932 Republican gubernatorial nominee. It had an unknown format, and was a former sister station to WACO/KHOO FM. After 74 years of broadcasting in the Waco area, the station moved to Glen Rose, Texas and was rebranded as KKTK, continuing with an unknown format. In 2002, Lee Glascow sold the station and it became a joint venture between M&M Broadcasters (80%) and George Marti (20%). The owners rebranded the station to KTFW as a simulcast of its KTFW-FM sister station.
In 2005, the station and its city of license were moved to Burleson, and it was revamped as KHFX airing Fox Sports Radio programming after the network's previous affiliate KFXR ceased programming on that station due to lack of ratings. George Marti sold the remaining shares to M&M that same year.
In 2008, the station swapped callsigns with 1140 on September 1.
On April 14, 2009, KCLE lost its fight with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to keep KNIT (now KBXD) (1480 AM) from increasing its daytime power to 50,000 watts.
