Alpha Media flips CHR KTFM (Energy 94.1)/San Antonio to a simulcast of co-owned Sports KZDC-AM and K277CX (San Antonio's Sports Star). KTFM had been "Energy 94.1" since 2016 after assuming the heritage calls previously assigned to 102.7 FM, now KJXK. "Sports Star" launched in February, 2008 on KZDC (1250). Through the years, Alpha Media invested in improving the 1250 signal. On December 5, 2014, the company added K277CX (94.5) -- becoming the only sports station on the FM dial.

Afternoon "The Blitz" co-host Jason Minnix wrote on the station's website, "Moving to 94.1 is huge -- the signal is 37 times bigger than what we had yesterday. You know I am a music guy so this is like a band that started playing clubs, moved to arenas and is now playing massive stadiums. Like going from Wolff Stadium to Jerry's World."

He continued, "My bosses -- Lance Hawkins and Greg Martin -- hired me in 2007. They are competitive and to win they believe in live and local. The commitment is there on the radio daily with three local shows with the recent additions of Rudy Jay, Joe Reinagel and Michael Jimenez. I have had some great teammates through the years, but this is the best local sports talk lineup San Antonio has ever heard."
