KTCR (980 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a Spanish sports format to the Yakima, Washington, USA area. The station is owned by James Ingstad of Fargo, North Dakota.[1]
History
The station went on air as KCHT on 1960-11-09. On 1997-12-08, the station changed its call sign to KJOX, on 2004-08-01 to KBBO and on 2013-08-27 to the current KTCR.[2]
On May 26, 2010, it was rumored then-KJOX's parent company New Northwest Broadcasters's stations could possibly be sold in the near future. Principal of Revitalization Partners, Alan Davis says "The stations are on the air; it's business as usual. I can only tell you there appears to be demand for the stations."[3][4] In 2012, the stations were sold to James Ingstad of Fargo, North Dakota.
On August 29, 2013 KTCR and its classic country format moved to 980 AM, swapping frequencies with talk-formatted KBBO.
On May 25, 2015 KTCR changed their format to ESPN Deportes Radio Spanish sports.
