History

KULL aired an oldies music format branded as "Kool 92" until April 11, 2005. In 2005 it became Mix 92.5 with a soft adult contemporary format. Over the years the format meandered between soft and hot adult contemporary. The call sign changed. The oldies format that had been on 92.5 resurfaced on KULL-FM at 100.7.

On January 9, 2023 the station flipped to a Texas and red dirt country format as "92.5 The Ranch", assuming the main signal in a simulcast with sister station KSLI. Curiously, the station retains the John Tesh "Intelligence for Your Life" radio show in mornings, in spite of the program clashing with the station's new format, as it is intended mainly for adult contemporary stations.
