History



KBUC-FM


On December 31, 1967, the station signed on as KBUC-FM.[5] Its community of license was Terrell Hills, Texas, and it broadcast at 106.3 MHz. The power was only 3,000 watts, a fraction of its current output. KBUC-FM was the FM counterpart to AM 1310 KBUC, a daytimer, so programming could continue to be heard on the FM station after sunset. (AM 1310 is now KAHL.) KBUC-AM-FM simulcast a country music format. They were owned by Tom E. Turner and the Turner Broadcasting Corporation, not related to the current day Turner Broadcasting System.


In 1974, KBUC-FM moved from 106.3 to 107.5 to make way for a new station, KTUF 106.3 (now KTKX 106.7).[6] The move also included a power increase to 100,000 watts and a change in community of license to San Antonio. The new, more-powerful signal allowed KBUC-FM to be heard for many miles around the San Antonio radio market. KBUC-AM-FM continued airing country music and personality DJs, plus news from the ABC Information Network.



Switch to Tejano


In 1986, KBUC-AM-FM were bought by TK Communications. In 1988, TK Communications changed the FM station's call sign to KZVE, becoming a Spanish-language adult contemporary station, known as "K-Suave" (K-Soft). KBUC (AM) became KXTN, airing a Tejano music format. In 1991, TK Communications decided to flip the formats on the two stations. The AM became Spanish AC while the FM switched to Tejano. The KZVE AC format stayed on AM 1350 until 1997, when it began simulcasting the FM station. The AM station changed its call letters to KXTN, while the FM station added an "-FM" suffix, becoming KXTN-FM.


In 2003, Univision, which owns scores of radio and TV stations in some of the largest Hispanic media markets, bought KXTN-AM-FM. Univision now owns four radio and two TV stations in the San Antonio market.



KXTN-FM in Other Texas Cities


Since 2009, the station has rebroadcast on a subchannel of co-owned KFZO (previously KESS-FM) in Lewisville via HD Radio on 107.9 HD-2. KFZO serves the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. However, on June 29, 2013, with KESS-FM suddenly flipping formats on the main station from Rhythmic Top 40 "Hot 107.9" to Regional Mexican as "La Jefa" (previously on KFZO), the KXTN simulcast was replaced with the "Hot" format on 107.9-HD2 for over 2 weeks.

Volkswagen Group MQB platform

Image
The Volkswagen Group MQB platform is the company's strategy for shared modular design construction of its transverse, front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout (optional front-engine, four-wheel-drive layout) automobiles. Volkswagen spent roughly $60bn [1] developing this new platform and the cars employing it. The platform underpins a wide range of cars from the supermini class to the mid size SUV class. MQB allows Volkswagen to assemble any of its cars based on this platform across all of its MQB ready factories. This allows the Volkswagen group flexibility to shift production as needed between its different factories. Beginning in 2012, Volkswagen Group marketed the strategy under the code name MQB , which stands for Modularer Querbaukasten , translating from German to "Modular Transversal Toolkit" or "Modular Transverse Matrix". [2] [3] MQB is one strategy within VW's overall MB (Modularer Baukasten or modular matrix) program which also includes th...
