Have you ever heard the call of “K-Double-A-M”? KAAM-AM, a powerful voice in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, broadcasts its message of Christian talk and brokered programming from Garland, Texas. KAAM-AM isn’t just another radio station. It’s a Class B station, operating on the clear-channel frequency of 770 AM. This gives it a wide reach, making it a significant presence in the local media landscape. KAAM-AM’s history is intertwined with the history of radio in Dallas. The current KAAM-AM on 770 AM started its life as KPBC in 1990. The call letters then stood for Percy B. Crawford, founder of Crawford Broadcasting. The station transitioned to the KAAM callsign on October 19, 1999. This wasn’t the first time the KAAM callsign graced the Dallas airwaves. The original KAAM had a rich history, beginning on 1310 kHz after the city of Dallas sold WRR. Bonneville Broadcasting acquired WRR in 1978. They kept the WRR call letters for the FM station and switched the AM station’s call letters to KAAM. This earlier KAAM had a long run before being sold to Susquehanna Radio Corporation in 1994, becoming KTCK, “The Ticket.” KAAM-AM on 770 AM also has a fascinating past. In its earlier incarnation, it broadcast nostalgic oldies and standards, branded as “Legends 77”. It even competed with KLUV for the hearts of oldies lovers. This format change in 2017 marked a shift in KAAM-AM’s programming, reflecting evolving listener preferences and the station’s own mission. KAAM-AM continues to evolve, offering a blend of faith-based discussions and specialized programming. It’s a testament to the enduring power of radio to connect with communities and provide a platform for diverse voices. So next time you’re in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, tune your radio to 770 AM. Listen to the resonant voice of KAAM-AM, a station with a story as rich and vibrant as the city it serves.
