The station went on the air in November 1948 as 92 KTLW. In the 1960s and 1970s, it aired a Top 40 format. In 1980, the call letters were changed to KYST. In 1982, while officially known as KYST, it billed itself as "Beatle Radio Number 9 KBTL" and had a format of all Beatles music. From the mid-1980s into the early 1990s it ran a Tejano format, as AM 920 KYST. It currently airs a Spanish Full Service format and is the longest continuously owned and operated radio station in the market.
