KONE (101.1 FM), known as "Rock 101.1", is a classic rock formatted radio station serving the Lubbock, Texas, and South Plains Area. Owned by Alpha Media Group, through licensee Alpha Media Licensee LLC, its studios are located in south Lubbock on Avenue Q west of I-27, and its transmitter is located south of the city. ==History== This station previously held the call letters KTEZ when it was an easy listening. It was founded in December 1974 by Troy Rayond "Ray" Moran. It began with studios and transmitter in the former transmitter shack of KKBC-TV/KMXN-TV. Moran had worked in Lubbock in the 1950 and 1960s. He was part owner of radio stations in Roswell, NM and Albuquerque, NM. Moran had engineer Guy D. Smith generate the technical filings for a new station on 101.1 (at the same time 102.5 was available; Moran sent a copy of his engineering to fellow broadcaster Jim Sloane in Tucson, AZ...years later that led to establishment of KRUX (FM)). KTEZ was sold in 1983 to Lotus Communications for 1,050,000 dollars. The proceeds helped Moran continue his KJAA, now KJTV-DT (TV) in Lubbock. Lotus sold the station to Nextmedia, Nextmedia sold it to Wilkes Group. Previous formats included "The Music of Your Life" (ABC Stardust), Soft AC, Country and currently Classic Rock. The call letters were changed to KONE in 1996 when KTEZ (K-LITE 101.1) changed formats to country. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「KONE (FM)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
