Original Report 1/9: With the bull logoed Houston Texans still alive in the NFL playoffs and the big Rodeo Houston on its way next month, CBS Country 100.3 KILT-FM looks to be adopting a new brand in the near future.
Anonymous domain registrations were made on January 7th for 1003TheBull.com, TheBull1003.com, and TheBullHouston.com. KILT is currently lagging behind Cox’ “93Q” KKBQ in the battle for Houston’s current Country audience. In the December PPM KKBQ held a 4.0 share to KILT-FM’s 3.2.
KILT-FM also serves as co-flagship of the aforementioned Texans football with sister Sports 610 KILT.
