History
Until March 2011, the station simulcast the talk radio programming of sister station KCXL (1140 AM). In March 2011 it flipped to Regional Mexican music, known as La Mega. In 2017, the station became the Spanish-language home of the Kansas City Chiefs, previously heard on KDTD 1340 AM. Chiefs games are produced through Tico Productions and also air on KHLT-FM in Wichita.[2]
As of January 2020, KCTO flipped from La Mega to Catholic programming in Spanish, simulcasting Radio Maria's Spanish feed. Chiefs games in Spanish moved to KCWJ (1030 AM) for the 2020 season.
Later in early 2020, KCTO began, during the morning hours, broadcasting Hosanna Christian Network (also heard full time on KWJP 89.7 FM in Paola, Kansas, with a format blending Spanish and English Contemporary Christian music, Regional Mexican music with Christian lyrics, and Urban contemporary gospel. The rest of the time, KCTO simulcasts Radio Maria, offering a Spanish Catholic format. Hosanna Christian Network's time expanded by one hour to 7am to 12pm starting in November 2020.
As of February 2021 the station switched from Radio Maria and Hosanna Christian Network to Catholic TV.
