KCTI-FM (88.1 FM) is a terrestrial American radio station, licensed to Gonzales, Texas, United States, and is owned by the Sun Radio Foundation of Bee Cave, Texas.

History

KCTI-FM was first licensed on July 29, 2008 as KZAR, owned by Educational Media Foundation, and used as a repeater for the company's national Air1 Christian format. Educational Media Foundation sold this facility after purchasing 97.7 KLTO in McQueeney, Texas from Univision, moving Air1 to the much larger San Antonio rimshot facility.

On March 8, 2016, the longtime KCTI call letters, which have resided on Gonzales's 1450 AM since 1947, were acquired for FM usage by Sun Radio, who was intending to purchase 88.1 KITG, as KCTI-FM. Sun Radio Foundation consummated the purchase of KCTI-FM on May 12, 2016. KCTI-FM operates as a Sun Radio affiliate with local programming consisting of Gonzales Apache football & Sunday morning local church service broadcasts.
