KSLI (1280 kHz) was an AM radio station that serves the Abilene, Texas, area. The station was owned by Townsquare Media and until late February 2025, aired a red dirt and Texas country music format, simulcasting KMWX (92.5 FM).
History
On Monday, March 1, 2010, the news/talk format on KSLI moved to sister station KYYW. KSLI then began broadcasting the classic country format that had been on KYYW.
The station was owned by Gap Central Broadcasting, which bought the station from Clear Channel Communications in 2007. Gap Central Broadcasting was folded into Townsquare Media on August 13, 2010.[1]
On Monday, February 10, 2020, KSLI transitioned from a classic country music format to a red dirt and Texas country music format under the "Lonestar 1280" branding.[2] KSLI still aired Abilene Wylie High School basketball, baseball and softball games, and was affiliated with Texas Farm Bureau.
On January 9, 2023, KSLI began simulcasting KMWX (92.5 FM), which took on the red dirt and Texas country music format as "92.5 The Ranch".[3] In October 2023, the station went silent due to transmitter problems.[4] On September 21, 2024, at 2:45 PM, KSLI came back on the air with a classic country format. On February 21, 2025, at 12 noon, KSLI was taken off the air again, as part of an ongoing series of closures of underperforming Townsquare Media stations.[5]
