KESN is a Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas based sports talk radio station. It is owned and operated by the Walt Disney Company as an ESPN Radio affiliate.
From 1983-2000, 103.3 FM for Dallas/Fort Worth was licensed out of Greenville, Texas and held the call letters KEMM. The station then ran a country music format. KEMM went dark on September 28, 2000. The license city and tower were moved to Allen, Texas in 2001 and the station was re-born on April 27, 2001 as KESN with the new all-sports format. Fourteen outlying stations were rearranged and relocated to make way for this frequency to beam into DFW, all at ABC/Disney's expense.
KESN is the flagship for Dallas Mavericks basketball and Texas Christian University football.
In 2006, "103.3 ESPN" welcomed Dale Hansen, former Dallas Cowboys radio analyst and host on rival station KTCK, to the station. KTCK is now the Cowboys' flagship station and many speculated that Hansen leaving KTCK for KESN was due to his criticism of the team, though the official explanation was that Hansen's ratings were not match his salary request.
Share ratings for KESN's primary shows lag behind that of KTCK, Sportsradio 1310, "The Ticket," their chief sports-talk radio rival in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex market [1] However in current ratings books, KESN has had many more cume listeners than KTCK. Typically, the ratings for shows on KESN garner about one-third the ratings of KTCK (comparing time-slot adjacent shows) in the key demographic for sports-radio (Men ages 25-54). However, KESN has been making inroads into KTCK's ratings during the spring 2006 ratings period. [2]
