Source-derived summary

KTRX (92.7 FM) is a radio station in Dickson, Oklahoma, serving the Lake Texoma region with a Top 40 format. The station is owned by Stephens Media Group.

History

The station signed on in June 2001 with a classic rock format. By May 17, 2022, KTRX had evolved to an active rock format; at 12 p.m. that day, the station began stunting with song excerpts featuring the word "star" ahead of an announcement to be made at 6 a.m. on May 18. At that time, the station flipped to an adult top 40 format as "Star 92.7", with the first song being "Counting Stars" by OneRepublic.

Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
