KONO-FM features a playlist of hit songs from co-owned KONO (AM)'s long history of Top 40 music from the 1970s and 1980s. Using the slogan "San Antonio's Greatest Hits", KONO-FM’s core artists include The Eagles, The Bee Gees, Michael Jackson, Lionel Richie, Hall and Oates and others with a few songs from the 1960s and the 1990s. During the holiday season, the station goes back to the 1950s through the 1990s for several holiday classics.

History

KONO-FM first signed on the air on February 18, 1971 as KNAF-FM, the sister station to KNAF (AM) in Fredericksburg, Texas.[2] At first it simulcast the country music format on the AM station, but by the mid-1970s it had a separately programmed beautiful music format. It later took the call letters KFAN, as an adult album alternative station. The station then moved to the San Antonio media market as KONO-FM, simulcasting KONO from May 1990 until KONO changed its format to sports radio in January 2014. During that time, KBKK (107.9 FM) in Johnson City started broadcasting KFAN's previous Adult Alternative format. About a year later it acquired the KFAN-FM call sign.
