The programmers behind three locally operated Houston radio stations have let me know they’ve been making some changes following another company’s decision to drop a format.
About a year ago, in September 2025, Puro Tejano 106.1 launched on K291CE-FM, bringing a 24/7 Tejano music format to the Houston market.
Now, there’s another move on the Houston radio dial.
Following the August 2026 flip of 95.7 The Spot KKHH to 95.7 The Fan KIKK, the Tejano format is moving from 106.1 to 99.5 FM.
That leaves 106.1 FM open for something new — and X marks the spot. Get it?
The X106.1 is positioning itself as a music station that plays the best of the '80s, '90s, and 2000s, with the slogan “We Play Everything!”
The station's promotional material promises to play listeners' favorite songs from across those three decades, 24/7.
The station is also being promoted alongside two other Houston signals:
X106.1 — The best of the '80s, '90s and 2000s
Puro Tejano 99.5 FM — Houston's 24/7 Tejano station
La Mejor 104.5 FM — “¡Aquí nomás!”
So, just when you thought the Houston radio dial was settling down, there's another format shuffle.
