Source-derived summary

KKGT (95.1 MHz) is a radio station licensed to serve Jacksonville, Texas. KKGT is owned by Storm Broadcasting, LLC.

History

KEBE-FM was initially proposed by Tomlinson-Leis Communications, L.P. through a short form application filed with the Federal Communications Commission and granted on November 17, 2015. The facility was proposed to be constructed on the KEBE tower in Jacksonville, which also provides a transmission site for the KEBE relay FM translator 104.7 K284CT.

KEBE-FM was granted the call sign on September 27, 2018. The KEBE call sign was randomly assigned to the AM sister station in 1947, but were later coined by original owner Dudley Waller to stand for "Keeping Every Body Entertained". The KEBE-FM call sign that this facility was first assigned once belonged to 106.5 KOOI, having been assigned to the facility in 1968, and continuing to use it until 1983.

The proposed facility was permitted to operate, once licensed, at an ERP of 200 watts, from an elevation of 86.9 meters height above average terrain. Tomlinson-Leis Communications sold the construction permit for the facility to North Texas Radio Group, L.P. on January 23, 2018.

KEBE-FM filed for a License to Cover the Class A FM facility on October 31, 2018.

On July 16, 2022, KEBE-FM went silent after the tower owner, Chisholm Trail Communications LLC, ceased electrical power at the site, as they prepared to sell the AM facility and tower to North Texas Radio Group. This will result in 1400 KEBE and 95.1 KEBE-FM becoming sister stations once again.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “KKGT”, the useful work is to connect “radio station in Jacksonville, Texas, United States” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q60746210. Authority coordinates are 31.970, -95.264. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2015, 2018, 1947 and 1968.

Critical limits

A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Treat names, boundaries and functions as historically changeable. Maps, plans, inventories and administrative records can clarify what the place meant at different dates.
