Weekends feature shows on money and health, some of which are paid brokered programming. There are also repeats of weekday shows. Most hours begin with world and national news from co-owned Townhall Radio News.
History
On September 28, 1941, KSKY first signed on. It was owned by the Chilton Radio Corp. In 1963, Chilton sold KSKY. Prior to the sale, it flipped to a Christian format, which aired until 2004 when it made the switch to conservative talk. For much of the station's existence, it was phonetically branded as K-Sky.
KSKY was sold to Salem in mid-2000. KSKY was also originally a daytime-only station until the recent[when?] format change and city of license change from Dallas to Balch Springs. KSKY applied for an FM frequency at 106.9 in 1948, then turned down a chance to buy the 98.7 frequency in 1957, and was awarded 91.3 in the 1960s (but no proof that it ever signed on has ever been found, with 91.3 has become a part of the non-commercial band.)
Salem Media announced on May 29, 2012, that KSKY would be rebranded as The Answer, with the return of radio personality Mark Davis (previously on WBAP). Salem Communications Corporation’s Director of Spoken Word Format Phil Boyce explained the reason for the rebranding: “This station will truly be an answer for so many things going on in the Metroplex and the world, with smart hosts who know how to help you understand all of those things, not to mention great news, traffic, weather, and information.”[3] Most sister stations with similar conservative talk programming in Salem's portfolio were also eventually rebranded as "The Answer".
On January 1, 2014, KSKY began airing the Sean Hannity show 2–5 pm CT, in a move also from crosstown WBAP.
