History

KCTI went on air on December 17, 1947. The late Lawrence Walshak and the late Frank "Woody" Wilson Jr. made radio in Gonzales a reality, when they signed on the air Dec. 17, 1947. A hearing was held to secure the 1450 frequency. There were five different applications for the frequency including the San Antonio Express. The station was sold in 1983 to Patrick Nugent. They operated the station again from 1993 to 1995 when it was sold to William Mann.

KCTI brought listeners a country radio station with a blend of Texas country, current country hits, and country classics. It also used to broadcast the syndicated Texas Country Weekend program.

Specialty programming on KCTI included Gonzales Apaches sports, 1450 Polka Club, local and area news, plus news from the Texas State Network.

KCTI programming focused on Gonzales County, Texas and the Guadalupe Valley. With little fanfare, KCTI signed off the air on August 31, 2015.

Today, KCTI operates at 88.1fm in Gonzales with coverage into Shiner, Seguin, Luling & surrounding communities.
