KAND began in 1937 as a Variety/Entertainment station on AM frequency 1310, but 10 years later moved to AM 1340 and has maintained its variety format until the
1980 s when they made a slow transition to Country music. The original station owner was J.C. West, who also owned the Wolf Brand (canned) Chili plant in Corsicana. West had applied for callsign WOLF, but theFederal Communications Commission wouldn't permit it due to the fact that the WOLF call letters are currently in use onSyracuse, New York 's AM and FM stations.Sometime in March
2008 ; Yates Communications has announced FCC's approval to buy KAND, and it will use it to create the Nation's first true "Green" or "Hybrid" radio station. According to Yates Communications President David Yates, programming consists of eco-friendly News and Talk programs including longtime radio personalityKevin McCarthy (formerly at KLIF 570 AM) filling the 10:00AM to Noon (central time) slot. Although the 1,000Watt station doesn't cover the immediateDallas/Fort Worth Metroplex , KAND will be streaming online to several North Texas listeners.
