'''KHSE''' (700 [[AM broadcasting|AM]]) is a commercial [[radio station]] licensed to [[Wylie, Texas]]. '''KTCG''' (104.1 [[FM broadcasting|FM]]) is a terrestrial radio station licensed to [[Sanger, Texas]]. Both facilities are under ownership of Texas FM Radio, LLC. and broadcast a full simulcast [[South Asia]]n [[radio format]], including music and talk aimed at the [[India]]n, [[Pakistan]]i and [[Bangladesh]]i communities in the [[Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex]].

==History==
This station began as KXXT under an unknown format in 2003, then a year later it was changed to KCAF when a sister station on 990 AM became [[KFCD (AM)|KMSR]] (now KFCD). On July 22, 2004, the call sign changed to KHSE and was to become a full-time business talk and sports format, but KHSE was long rumored to be in a "testing" phase to align the signal on their new tower. However, a new tower had never been constructed. KHSE went bankrupt in August 2005 and was auctioned off two months later (along with sister station KFCD) to a "[[Debtor in possession|debtor-in-possession]]". After two years of signal testing, KHSE has resumed its broadcasting activities as "Radio Caravan".

On February 27, 2007, an application was filed with the [[Federal Communications Commission|FCC]] to transfer the license from Bernard Dallas LLC to Principle Broadcasting Network - Dallas, LLC [http://www.fcc.gov/Daily_Releases/Daily_Business/2007/db0227/DOC-270789A1.pdf]{{Dead link|date=February 2020 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}, which had entered into a transaction to acquire the two stations from the bankruptcy court.[https://web.archive.org/web/20071002045712/http://www.rbr.com/samples/rbr-sample.html] This transaction was never consummated.

Effective October 30, 2015, Bernard Dallas LLC sold KHSE and sister station [[KFCD]] to Mark Jorgenson's ACM Dallas V LLC for $475,000. Jorgenson then sold KHSE to John Hammond's Hammond Broadcasting, LLC effective November 20, 2015, for $1.5 million. Hammond Broadcasting in turn sold KHSE and translator K281CS to Texas FM Radio, LLC for $2 million effective October 22, 2018.
