Country Legends 97.1 KTHT has been sold to Educational Media Foundation (EMF) according to RadioInsight.
UPDATE OCTOBER 31, 2023
Country Legends 97.1 Houston flips to K-LOVE
This after the April 2023 sale of Cox Media Group's Houston cluster of radio stations to Urban One Inc.
For those keeping score, the CMG stations in Houston are 93Q Country KKBQ-FM, classic rock station The Eagle 106.9 & 107.5 KHPT-FM and KGLK-FM, and Country Legends 97.1 KTHT-FM. The Urban One Inc. Houston stations are 97.9 'The Box' and Majic 102.1.
After the announcement, Urban One sold Praise 92.1 KROI Houston to Spanish Broadcasting System.
The reason KROI and now KTHT are being sold off after the big sale is due to the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) local ownership limits.
EMF already owns Houston's Air1 103.7 KHJK.
