History

The station started out originally in Wichita Falls as K-Nine (KNIN), a popular Top 40 station during the 1960s and 1970s. After several format and call letter changes during the 1980s and 1990s, the station moved to Farmersville as KCAF Cafe 990 as a short-lived women's talk format. Two months later, it changed to conservative talk via Radio America. The name, however stayed the same. "Cafe 990" has the unenviable distinction of having the shortest run of any regular format in D/FW radio history, signing off the format after just three days, due to monetary problems involved with the owners of the station. After Cafe 990 signed off, Radio America programming resumed.

In 2004, the station changed its call letters to KMSR while maintaining its talk format, but on December that year, the station was re-imaged as KFCD. A year later, KFCD was transferred to the bankruptcty court appointed "debtor-in-possession" along with sister station KHSE.
