KTCK-FM

Commercial radio station licensed to serve the community of Flower Mound, Texas

KTCK FM (96.7 MHz, "The Ticket") is a commercial radio station licensed to Flower Mound, Texas, and serving the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. It simulcasts a sports radio format, along with sister station KTCK (1310 AM). KTCK AM FM are owned by Cumulus Media with studios on East Lamar Boulevard in Arlington. Weekdays feature local Dallas based sports shows, while Fox Sports Radio is heard late nights and weekends. KTCK AM FM are the flagship stations for the Dallas Stars Radio Network. KTCK FM has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 90,000 watts. The transmitter is on Farm to Market Road in Rosston, Texas, about 35 miles northwest of Dallas. The signal extends into Oklahoma but may be hard to hear in some southern suburbs of Dallas and Fort Worth.

In April 1967, the station signed on as KDSQ. It was based in the Sherman Denison area on 101.7 FM. Two years later, it changed its call sign to KSHN. In 1975 it changed to KIKM FM with a country music format during the day and Top 40 at night (simulcast from sister station KIKM), then to full time Top 40 a couple years later. In 1983, the call sign changed to KZXL FM, but two years later the previous call sign was re established This was the start of 20,000 songs in a row without commercial interruption. Initially jockless, The Twister started adding DJs in September 2003. From there, it broadcast a diverse oldies format, as the playlist was taken directly from the remnants of the former ABC Radio's corporate "Memories" music library; thus, their slogan was "Forgotten Hits Re Discovered". It also marked a return of a few former "Memories" personalities with Ron Chapman as the station's consultant.

On October 7, 2013, Cumulus announced that effective October 21, 96.7 would change from a simulcast of WBAP to sports AM station KTCK. Dan Bennet, Dallas/Fort Worth market manager for Cumulus, said that WBAP had "no ratings increase since adding the FM". The WBAP simulcast moved to KPLX 99.5 HD2. A callsign change to KTCK FM took effect October 27.

Unlike most of the area's FM stations like sister stations KSCS, KPLX and WBAP FM, which transmit their signals from Cedar Hill and Southwest Dallas, KTCK FM transmits its signal from an unincorporated area within the county borders of Cooke, Montague, and Wise. Therefore, KTCK FM's signal is much stronger in the Northwestern parts of the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex as well as the cities of Decatur, Bowie, Gainesville, and Sherman, to as far north as Ardmore, Oklahoma, but is considerably weaker in Dallas and areas southeast of the Metroplex.
