KTCK (1310 AM; "SportsRadio 1310 The Ticket"), is a sports talk radio station based in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. The station, currently owned by Cumulus Media, has been made popular by the incorporation of humor alongside the sports talk. It rebroadcasts on 96.7 FM. The station's studios are located in the Victory Park district in Dallas just north of downtown, and the transmitter site is in Coppell.
The sometime controversial station has posted strong ratings in the Dallas radio market, especially its Arbitron top-rated showsThe Hardline (who entertain the denizens of the metroplex) and Dunham and Miller, which have been the anchors of the station's success throughout its existence.
The 1310 kHz frequency has its origins as WRR, which was licensed in August 1921 and became the first broadcast radio station in the state of Texas, and the second in the United States. In 1948, WRR launched an FM station; the AM station played popular music while the FM station carried classical music until 1975 when WRR 1310 became the first station in the Dallas/Fort Worth area to have an all-news format until its 1978 sale to Bonneville International. 1310 was split from WRR-FM in 1978 and became the first of several incarnations of KAAM when it was owned by the same company that owned KAFM (92.5 MHz) until gaining its current call sign in 1994.
He might just look a little bit kooky
But he thinks that's okay
he needs a job to pay off his mortgage and his chevrolet
If tricks you want then he ain't your person
All he does is stand
Except the time when he is running from the policeman
Ah... Ah... Ah... yeah
Banana Man! 1 2 3!
Banana Man! I'm Banana Man!
Banana Man! Dance with me!
Whoa, Oh!
Banana Man! 1 2 3!
Banana Man! I'm Banana Man!
Banana Man! Dance with me!
Whoa, Oh!
It might surprise you he went to college
And got his degree
It's hard to find a job with a major in plant psychology
His identity he tries to keep secret
But not because he's great
Cause the girls will just keep on laughing
And he'll never get a date
Ah... Ah... Ah... Yeah!
Banana Man! 1 2 3!
Banana Man! I'm Banana Man!
Banana Man! Dance with me!
Whoa, Oh!
Banana Man! 1 2 3!
Banana Man! I'm Banana Man!

Whoa, Oh!
Banana Man! 1 2 3!
Banana Man! I'm Banana Man!
Banana Man! Dance with me!
Whoa, Oh!
Banana Man! 1 2 3!
