The station was purchased by Feuer/McCord Communications Inc. for US$3 million in 2002. Feuer/McCord Communications became JMJ Broadcasting in 2005.KXGL was sold to Alpha Media in September 2015.On a Sunday night in October 2002, Amarillo got a brand new radio station with a unique sound beginning its broadcast with "20,000 Songs In A Row".By mandate, there would be fewer commercials. There would be several times a day where there would be no commercials. "Eagle Commercial Free Flights" would span 100 minutes with Classic Hits.The on-air personalities were announced over time, with the morning show members added first. Internal research of current Amarillo morning programs, with some out of town names included, indicated potential listeners had a preference.Jamey Karr & Morgan Tanner, both inductees of the Texas Panhandle Broadcasters Hall Of Fame, were lured from their post at crosstown KPUR-FM. In December 2002, Karr was named Operations Manager of KXGL, and Tanner was chosen for the Production Manager position. On January 2, 2003, Jamey & Morgan became the first personalities heard on The Eagle and became the # 1 morning show in August 2003, a ranking they still hold.
