History

For most of its existence, KQXT was known as EZ listening or adult contemporary "KQ-102". The station began in 1967 as KCOR-FM with its antenna at the sister KCOR AM towers at Abe Lincoln road in North West San Antonio. KCOR AM was an established Spanish-language station, going back to 1946. The FM was always separate from the AM. The station was sold in 1975 to Harbenito Radio along with KCOR. The FM moved from Abe Lincoln road to the Tower of the Americas site in downtown San Antonio in 1970. It was sold to Westinghouse' Group W Broadcasting in 1984. In 1990, KQXT moved away from their longtime "Elevator Music" image to a more mainstream AC playlist with the new slogan, "Continuous Soft Favorites" and was re-branded as "KQ-102". The station achieved great success in the early 1990s and, at one point was the top adult station in San Antonio. It was acquired by Clear Channel Communications in 1993 in a deal that involved other local stations.
In 2000, KQXT was re-branded as "Soft Rock 101.9" in an effort to move to a more contemporary AC playlist.
On January 2, 2007 the station underwent another change and is now known as "Q101.9". The format remains intact with the addition of more rhythmic songs.
As with most iHeartMedia-owned adult contemporary stations and non-iHeart-owned adult contemporary stations like KKMJ-FM in Austin, KQXT devotes the month leading to Christmas to playing continuous holiday music.
Delilah was previously heard on KQXT in recent years until 2011, when the station dropped her show. On July 3, 2017, KQXT brought back her show. Delilah was dropped again in August 2018.
