History
editThe Federal Communications Commission issued a construction permit for the station on February 12, 1991.[4] The station was assigned the KBSO call sign on March 1, 1991,[5] and received its license to cover on January 25, 1993.[6]
On June 1, 2013, KBSO, rebranded as "My 94.7".[7]
On January 16, 2015, KBSO rebranded as "94.7 The Rig".[8]
On May 3, 2015, KBSO adopted KYRK's old format as "94.7 The Shark".
On July 2, 2015, KBSO changed its format to a simulcast of Texas Country-formatted KCCT 1150 AM.[9] In 2017, the KCCT simulcast broke, with KCCT flipping to '80s music and KBSO remaining with Texas music.
