Owned by Alpha Media Group, through licensee Alpha Media Licensee LLC, its studios are located in south Lubbock on Avenue Q west of I-27, and its transmitter is located south of the city.

History

This station previously held the call letters KTEZ when it was an easy listening. It was founded in December 1974 by Troy Raymond "Ray" Moran (who'd later found Ramar Communications.) It began with studios and transmitter in the former transmitter shack of KKBC-TV/KMXN-TV (predecessor of KJTV, FOX34.) Moran had worked in Lubbock in the 1950 and 1960s. He was part owner of radio stations in Roswell, NM and Albuquerque, NM. Moran had engineer Guy D. Smith generate the technical filings for a new station on 101.1 (at the same time 102.5 was available; Moran sent a copy of his engineering to fellow broadcaster Jim Slone in Tucson, AZ...years later that led to establishment of KRUX (FM) no known as KZII). Studios moved to Suite 276 of the Plains National Bank building (Tower of the Plains) at 50th and University in 1977.

KTEZ was sold in 1983 to Lotus Communications for 1,050,000 dollars. The proceeds helped Moran continue development of KJAA, now KJTV-TV FOX34 in Lubbock. Lotus sold the station to Nextmedia, Nextmedia sold it to Wilkes Group.

Previous formats included "The Music of Your Life" (ABC Stardust), Soft AC, Country and currently Classic Rock. The call letters were changed to KONE in 1996 when KTEZ (K-LITE 101.1) changed formats to country.

Programming

Bob & Tom is Rock 101.1's syndicated morning show.

Local air talent includes Sean Dillon (Middays 9-2P), The Man Made Radio Show (Afternoons 2-7p), and Dave Fernandez (Weekends).
