KHYI

The station signed on during the first week of August 1969 under the call sign KAWB based in McKinney with an mixed format of easy listening and country. KAWB's former studios were located between Highway 75 and Highway 121 in McKinney. On January 9, 1974, the station changed its call letters to KMMK and adopted a MOR format. In the early 1980's, the station became an Adult Contemporary station. When the station changed its call letters to KWPL in October 1985 as 95.3 WPL, the station continued its Adult Contemporary format until June 1986 when it adopted a Top 40 format.

In the spring of 1989, the station became KSSA, relocated its headquarters to Plano, and dropped its Top 40 format to become a Spanish Contemporary station. The station was authorized in late 1991, and was licensed in late 1994. It replaced the station that had been on the 95.3 dial position at the time, KSSA-FM now KRVA-FM. KAWB moved to 106.9 to allow the 94.9 station at Arlington, TX KLTY (then known as KHYI) to upgrade from class C1 to class C, and raise power from 36,000 watts to 100,000 watts. The 95.3 channel was moved outward to the unserved town of Howe, where the new station operates to this day.

KHYI is an affiliate of the Mean Green Sports Network since August 1974, and carries University of North Texas football and men's basketball games.

Throughout its history, the station formerly aired a variety of various local High School and University games.

A few months after KAWB signed on in 1969, KAWB began airing McKinney ISD football games. The station later began to air a primary Plano ISD football games focus into their schedule in the early 1970's. At that reason, McKinney ISD games were separately aired on tape delays throughout the rest of the 1970's and into the 1980's into the station's main focus on Plano's games (such as Plano, and later added Plano East in 1985). Throughout parts of the early-to-mid 1980's, more sporting events such as East Texas Baptist University, Baylor University, and a few other NCAA teams' basketball and football games were aired as well.

During the 1970's, KMMK had a few original talk programs such as "Daily Bread", a 15 minute program that debuted in 1975 and aired on Monday Mornings at 7:15 AM; and a bible and church service programs that aired every Sunday morning and into the afternoon hours.

During the Adult Contemporary and Top 40 era of KWPL in the 1980's, the station aired news and information (every 20 minutes) across the Collin County area into their schedule.
