KTCK (1310 AM; "SportsRadio 1310 The Ticket"), is a sports talk radio station based in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. The station, currently owned by Cumulus Media, has been made popular by the incorporation of humor alongside the sports talk. It rebroadcasts on 96.7 FM. The station's studios are located in the Victory Park district in Dallas just north of downtown, and the transmitter site is in Coppell.
The sometimes controversial station has posted strong ratings in the Dallas radio market, especially its Arbitron top-rated showsThe Hardline and the Dunham and Miller Show, which have been the anchors of the station's success throughout its existence.
The 1310 kHz frequency has its origins as WRR, which was licensed in 1922 and became the first broadcast radio station in the state of Texas, and the second in the United States. In 1948, WRR launched an FM station; the AM station played popular music while the FM station carried classical music until 1975 when WRR 1310 became the first station in the Dallas/Fort Worth area to have an all-news format until its 1978 sale to Bonneville International. 1310 was split from WRR-FM in 1978 and became the first of several incarnations of KAAM when it was owned by the same company that owned KAFM (92.5 MHz) until gaining its current call sign in 1994.
The Ticket's original lineup consisted of Skip Bayless, Curt Menefee, Mike Rhyner and Greg Williams, Chuck Cooperstein, and George Dunham and Craig Miller. Skip Bayless was the first host to inaugurate the station's sports format.
