KWRD-FM

The station first signed on the air on November 15, 1988 as KRJT-FM in Bowie, Texas.[2] It largely simulcast its AM sister station, KRJT 1410 (now KNTX). KRJT-FM was powered at 3,000 watts, a fraction of its current output.

Bowie is about 90 miles northwest of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. The owners realized that if their FM station could move closer to Dallas, its value would greatly increase. The Federal Communications Commission granted its request to become a "move in" station. It changed its city of license to Highland Village, just north of both Dallas and Fort Worth. The transmitter was relocated to Collinsville with a big increase in power, 98,000 watts.

In 1997, Salem Communications bought KEWS 94.9 of Arlington, Texas. That station had a long history of broadcasting Christian programming, once owned by evangelist Jimmy Swaggart. Salem began running its own Christian talk and teaching format on the station, as KWRD-FM The Word 94.9. Then in early 2000, Salem acquired an FM station on 100.7 in the Dallas suburbs, airing Christian Contemporary music as KLTY-FM.[3]

On December 22, 2000, flipped the two stations to give KLTY the stronger signal. KLTY now broadcasts on 94.9 while KWRD-FM is heard on 100.7.

On September 18, 2015, KWRD-FM began simulcasting on the former Radio Disney affiliate KMKI 620 AM (now KTNO) for a week. Salem had acquired many of the former Disney outlets. The following week, KMKI switched formats to Business News/Talk with content formerly airing on KVCE 1160 AM. On October 20, 2015, KWRD-FM's programming was simulcast on KVCE 1160 AM. That station is now KBDT, with new owners and a talk radio format.

KPXI (100.7 MHz) of Overton simulcast KWRD-FM until early 2009. It was also owned by Salem Media. The FCC approved the transfer of KPXI to Jerry T. Hanszen of Carthage, Texas. KPXI was sold to Louisiana State University in Shreveport and now operates as public radio station KTYK Overton, broadcasting the Red River Radio network.
