History

Licensed in 1936 as KOCA (which stood for Kilgore Oil Capital of America) had a long and rich history of serving the Kilgore community.

1240 became KTXC on February 9, 1987.

On September 15, 1988, the station changed its call sign to KKTX (to reflect it's FM sister station 96.1 KKTX-FM and to begin a simulcast with them). The simulcast would stop during local football games as KKTX and KKTX-FM ran separate games.

Then again on October 19, 1999 to KBGE.

On May 7, 2009, the KKTX-FM 96.1 FM simulcast ended when the station started syndicating Scott Shannon's "The True Oldies Channel and picking up the KDOK call sign dropped by 92.1KTBB-FM in Tyler, Texas.

As of February 24, 2011, KDOK has dropped Scott Shannon's True Oldies Channel and it began stunting with Michael Jackson's "Beat It" on repeat. On February 28, 2011 KDOK changed their format to classic hip hop, branded as "The Beat".
