KPAS (103.1 FM) was a radio station broadcasting a Christian radio music format.[2] Licensed to Fabens, Texas, United States. The station was last owned by Algie A. Felder.[3] It went on the air in 1979 as KLMF-FM, became KPAS in 1982, and ceased operations after losing its transmitter in a 2023 lightning strike.

## History

[edit]

The station was assigned the call letters KLMF-FM on July 30, 1979. On July 7, 1982, the station changed its call sign to KPAS.[4]

KPAS went silent in June 2023, after the station's transmitter was destroyed by a lightning strike. It never returned to the air; the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) canceled its license in November 2024.[5]

## History of call letters

[edit]

The call letters KPAS previously belonged to an AM station in Banning, California, which began broadcasting November 9, 1949.[6]

In September 1953, the FCC authorized assignment of the license of KPAS of Banning, California, from Byron-Wood Motors to Henry Chester Darwin, for $6,100.[7]
