KYDA (101.7 FM) is a radio station based in the Fort Worth, Texas, area that plays Air 1 programming. The station is licensed to Azle, Texas, with a transmitter site located north of Decatur, Texas. It is currently owned by Educational Media Foundation, whom purchased this station from Liberman Broadcasting in early November 2012. Air1 is a contemporary hit radio (CHR) radio network in the United States, playing Contemporary Christian music.
The callsign was first selected by Tony Rodriguez (son of Spanish Radio Pioneer Marcos Rodriguez, Sr.) and assigned to 104.9 FM in Pilot Point. Tony Rodriguez made the frequency famous in the early 1990s by being the first radio station in America to play all Beatles music. Tony later sold KTCY 104.9 to his brother Marcos A. Rodriguez.
Liberman Broadcasting, a Spanish-language media company, bought out some of Entravision's radio assets on August 4, 2006. Before KTCY-FM was bought by Liberman Broadcasting, the station played the same Spanish-language pop music but with different DJs and programming.
On May 12, 2007, the station's branding name was changed from "Concierto 101.7" to the branding name "XO 101.7". Prior to "Concierto" name, the station used "SuperEstrella 101.7". The station continues to be operated by Liberman and with the same DJs and programming but under a new name. "Concierto 101.7"'s" solgan was "La música se escucha mejor, en Concierto! 101.7!" Now, the station's slogan is "La música romantica de tu generación, XO, 101 punto 7." However, since May 2008, the station's slogan has been "La música de tu generación" and "La música romantica de tu generación". Near the end of February in 2009, the XO's slogan changed to "Música romantica, todo el día". Furthermore, more ballads and love songs have been added to the playlist.
