The facility was built by legendary broadcast engineer Truett Kimzey, who in the early 1930s gained fame as the original announcer for the Light Crust Doughboys on KFJZ in Fort Worth (“The Light Crust Doughboys are on the air!”) and was one of the earliest engineers to transmit experimental television broadcasts. KGVL originally operated as a “full-service” station, with middle-of-the-road music, local news and sports, live coverage of local events, and Mutual Network and Texas State Network programming. The station’s primary owner was Leo Hackney, who managed the station into the 1980s.
