For almost exactly 40 years, 96.5FM was Kansas City’s classical station.  KXTR signed on under the ownership of Telesound Broadcasting Corporation and enjoyed great stability under long-time owner Robert Ingram.  When Ingram Media sold the station in 1997, rumblings of a change began, continuing until three years and one owner later, Classical KXTR was banished to AM and 96.5 the Buzz launched.
