KTLU (1580 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a classic hits music format.[1] Licensed to Rusk, Texas, USA, the station serves the Tyler-Longview area. The station is currently owned by Cherokeean Herald KTLU LLC and features programming from Citadel Broadcasting.[2]

History

On January 15, 2009, KTLU changed their format from oldies to classic hits, simulcasting KWRW 97.7 FM.

On May 15, 2015, KTLU split from its simulcast with KWRW 97.7 FM Rusk, TX (which switched to news/talk as KTBB-FM) and rebranded as "Classic Hits 103.9", simulcast on FM translator K280CL 103.9 FM. K280CL simultaneously moved from its original transmission facility in Palestine, Texas to Rusk, Texas effectively replacing the lost KWRW 97.7 allocation that had been licensed to Rusk since 1981. K280CL now operates from the current KTLU (and former KWRW) tower site.

Translators

In addition to the main station, KTLU is relayed by an additional translator to widen its broadcast area.
