History
The station signed on the air on October 13, 1966.[4] Its original call sign was KROB-FM, the sister station to KROB 1510 AM. The two stations had simulcast a country music format. They were owned by Coastal Bend Broadcasting.
On July 11, 1991, the station changed its call letters to the current KSAB. It switched to a Tejano music format, separate from its AM sister station.
San Antonio-based Clear Channel Communications acquired the station in 2000.[5] In 2014, Clear Channel changed its name to the current iHeartMedia. KSAB Tejano 99.9 broadcasts online via the iHeartRadio app.[6]
