History
The station first started out as KMWT in 1970, with an unknown format. In 1981, the callsign was changed to KYXS as a country music station. In 2002, the station made its permanent switch to KFWR, bringing listeners a country radio station with a blend of Texas country, current country hits, and country classics. On May 1, 2008, the station dropped most of the current country hits in favor of "totally 100% TEXAS country music."
KFWR focuses on the area west of the Tarrant-Dallas county line calling it the Westoplex as opposed to the entire area's nickname of Metroplex.
95.9 The Ranch also brings its listeners a free concert series featuring artists in Texas for 25 weeks every summer in downtown Fort Worth.
The Ranch radio format can also be heard on KRVF, 106.9, Corsicana, Texas.
On February 21, 2013, KFWR upgraded its signal from 80 kW at 329 metres to 100 kW at 425 metres and moved the city of licence to Jacksboro.

Why this record matters
The phrase “radio staton in Jackson, Texas” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

The linked authority identifier is Q14710595. Authority coordinates are 33.072, -98.008. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
