The station began broadcasting on August 8, 1964 as WTAW-FM on 92.1 FM. The station was originally a Top 40/CHR station known as "92W", and was once the dominant CHR station for the College Station area until the launch of KKYS in November 1984. In 1982, the station's call-letters were changed to KTAW-FM, and in 1987, the station started to slowly downgrade its Top 40 format for adult contemporary and changed its call-letters to KTSR. It was known as "Star 92". This lasted until 1991 as the station then flipped to classic rock. Its format would later shift to mainstream rock by the 2000s as "92 Rock". KTSR then flipped to KNDE in March 2003. Some former programs contain a morning zoo, which is simply entitled The Morning Zoo with Mason and Mack, Lesley K in middays, Jerry Kidd in the afternoons and Tripp Daily at night.
