KPLX (99.5 FM, "99.5 The Wolf") is an American commercial radio station broadcasting a country music format on 99.5 FM, serving the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex in Texas and is under ownership of Cumulus Media. The station's studios are located in the Victory Park district in Dallas just north of downtown, and its transmitter is located in Cedar Hill, Texas. ==History== 99.5 was activated in 1962 as KXOL-FM. It operated as a sister station to KXOL 1360 (now KMNY). Calls changed to KCWM in the late sixties and to KPLX in 1974. It was owned by the Wendall Mayes family (KNOW Austin, KCRS Midland, interests in others) until 1974 when it was sold to Susquehanna Broadcasting (later acquired by Cumulus Group). The station first started out with a middle of the road music format in 1974, then it was changed to a country station on January 7, 1980. The station was known on-air as "K-Plex". The station re-branded as "The Wolf" on July 24, 1998. KPLX has won radio station of the year award from the Country Music Association and the Academy of Country Music, as well as RAB Marconi Awards, Billboard/R&R and Radio Music Awards. Susquehanna was eventually acquired by Cumulus Media in 2005. With its parent company's acquisition of Citadel Broadcasting, KPLX is now a sister station to long-time rival KSCS (96.3); the latter shifted to a Nash FM-inspired pop/country hybrid format in 2015 to differentiate the two. 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「KPLX」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
