that published the Los Angeles Times and the Dallas Times Herald. Times Mirror kept the KTBC call sign for the TV station, while the radio stations became KLBJ AM-FM to reflect the initials of President Johnson, who had died earlier that year. (Currently, KTBC-TV is owned by Fox Television Stations.) The Johnsons divested their radio stations in 1997, and sold KLBJ AM and FM to LBJS Corporation. The corporation was made up of KLBJ executives. KLBJ (AM) had already shifted from MOR to an newsradio format, while KLBJ-FM transformed into a full-fledged album rock format. In 2003, KLBJ AM and FM were sold to the Indianapolis-based Emmis Communications Company. Emmis had radio stations in several large markets around the U.S., including New York City and Los Angeles. Discography KLBJ-FM has produced a number of albums, focusing mainly on local Austin music. Its "local licks live" series started in 1989 and has showcased dozens of popular Austin musicians.
