History On December 1, 1989, the station signed on the air. It was founded by Kay Sadler-Gill, at a time when few women owned radio stations. Broadcasting Yearbook 1990 page B-25 Sadler-Gill's nickname "Katy" is reflected in the station's call sign, KATY-FM.

In 2001, the station was purchased by All-Pro Broadcasting for $3.5 million. Broadcasting & Cable Yearbook 2010 page D-89 On January 16, KATY switched its format to soft adult contemporary and rebranded as "KATY 101.3 Lite & Refreshing." As the decade went on, KATY stepped up the tempo and transitioned to mainstream adult contemporary music.
