KVTT (1110 AM) is an American radio station licensed to Mineral Wells, Texas. It is under ownership of Texoma Broadcasting, Inc. and is broadcasting an Asian full service format to the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Because KVTT uses the same frequency as Class A station KFAB in Omaha, Nebraska; it broadcasts only during the daytime and critical hours. Studios are located in Richardson along east Belt Line Road, and the transmitter is southwest of Alvord in Wise County.
This station was first established in 1946 as KFOP on 1140 AM with an unknown format, which ran until 1983 when the station was revamped by its former owners Jerry Snyder and Associates to KJSA (for Jerry Snyder and Associates) with a Nostalgia/Oldies format (known as the "Music Of Your Life"). 20 years later, it was sold to M&M Broadcasters and it switched to a classic country format known as "The Radio Ranch".
The station traded places with KCLE 1120 and on May 24, 2008, KJSA moved from 1120 to 1110 AM and increased daytime power to 20,000 watts, and the Houston-based Biz Radio Network moved their D/FW broadcasts from KMNY 1360 AM to KJSA. (Another construction permit was on file in the early 2000s to move their broadcasts to Maple Grove, Minnesota; see KJSA info in "DFW Radio History - AM Stations" site.) Signal testing began in April 2008, with 1360 and 1110 simulcasting BizRadio programming until May 24 and that same day, Biz Radio bought this station from M&M Broadcasters, although its previous owners still maintained minor ownership of KJSA. BizRadio also leased KTEK (1110 AM) near Houston, which put their programming on the same 1110 frequency in both markets.
